Association and haplotype analyses of positional candidate genes in five genomic regions linked to scrotal hernia in commercial pig lines.

Scrotal hernia in pigs is a complex trait likely affected by genetic and environmental factors. A large-scale association analysis of positional and functional candidate genes was conducted in four previously identified genomic regions linked to hernia susceptibility on Sus scrofa chromosomes 2 and...
