Haplotypes for Type, Degree, and Rate of Marbling in Cattle Are Syntenic with Human Muscular Dystrophy

Figure 4

W plot comparing haplotype frequencies in Wagyu and Simmental. Adapted from [58]. (a) The haplotypes are from MPRIP to FASN (see Figure 2). Note SCT-FSN L in Wagyu and S in Simmental, also GH C in Wagyu and GH A in Simmental with GH B largely in the haplotypes common to both breeds. Haplotype designation is MPRIP.TCAP_GH SCT-FSN. (b) Haplotypes are from SREBF1 to TCAP. Haplotype designation is MPRIP.TCAP.SREB.NT5M. The four most common haplotypes of Simmental are also found at high frequency in Wagyu (and many other breeds not shown here), while two of the three most common haplotypes of Wagyu are not found in Simmental (and are not common in any other breed tested).
