Association between polymorphism in the FTO gene and growth and carcass traits in pig crosses

Table 2 Allele frequencies of FTO SNP FM244720:g.400C>G in eight pig breeds and the wild boar¹

Breed	n	C	G
Czech Large White	28	0.45	0.55
Czech Landrace	38	0.66	0.34
Czech Meat Pig	15	0.80	0.20
Pietrain	23	0.65	0.35
Black Pied Prestice	17	0.47	0.53
Hampshire	9	0.94	0.06
Duroc	30	0.43	0.57
Meishan	22	0.02	0.98
Wild boar	10	0.10	0.90

¹ Included are pigs that were genotyped for both SNP FM244720:g.400C>G and SNP AM931150:g.276T>G [15]; both SNP were in complete linkage disequilibrium (allele g.400 C with g.276 T, and g.400 G with g.276 G), with the exception of one Meishan pig, which was heterozygous g.400 CG and homozygous g.276 GG (repeatedly tested)
