Identification of the ABCC4, IER3, and CBFA2T2 candidate genes for resistance to paratuberculosis from sequence-based GWAS in Holstein and Normande dairy cattle

Table 2 Variance and heritability values estimated from the genomic relationship matrix calculated using HD genotypes

Breed	Phenotype	Genetic variance	Residual variance	h² (SE)^a
Normande	0/1	0.12	0.12	0.51 (0.15)
Normande	0/1/2	0.21	0.20	0.52 (0.15)
Holstein	0/1	0.14	0.10	0.57 (0.09)
Holstein	0/1/2	0.29	0.21	0.57 (0.09)

^aNote that these heritability estimates are likely to be strongly overestimated, due to the selection of extreme phenotypes (see Discussion)
