Traits significantly associated with heterozygous carriers of the deletion.

Effect shows the direction of the association, se shows the standard error. Table shows increased DEBVs for growth rate (TGR: growth rate in test period, ~25-120Kg, LGR: lifetime growth rate), daily feed intake (DFI), and litter mortality (LMO), while decreased DEBV for litter birth weight (LBW, grams), loin depth (LDE), and longevity (LGY) are observed for carriers. The symbols "+" and "-" indicate positive and negative effects. The effect on DFI can be considered both positive and negative. If TGR is increasing, DFI tends to increase a bit. However, it should not increase too much because it will affect feed conversion. An overview of all traits tested is provided in S10 Table.
