Overview

This review identifies SNPs linked to hematological traits in Sus scrofa, suggesting potential implications for health and production.

Key Points

  • Analysis identified 509 SNPs within 53 high-confidence QTL related to hematological traits.
  • Among the SNPs, 37 were homologous to human loci, indicating shared genetic influences.
  • The findings highlight significant candidate genes involved in immune function and hematopoiesis.
  • This research underscores the potential for improving pig health and welfare using genetic insights.
