Variants detected by exome sequencing of genes on the genomic regions harboring the growth QTL <i>Pbwg1.12</i> and the obesity QTL <i>Pbwg1.5</i>, prioritization of candidate genes and damage of protein functions caused by nsSNPs found in the candidate genes.

asSNP, synonymous SNP; nsSNP, nonsynonymous SNP; NA, not applicable because the QTL in question was not located on the region including the genes. bThe top two genes were prioritized as candidate genes for growth and obesity QTLs by the web-based software program Endevour [25]. cDamage caused by nsSNPs was investigated for the ranked genes by two software programs, SIFT [26] and PolyPhen-2 [27].
