List of candidate genes and number of SNPs genotyped on each for association analysis.

1Genoscope gene IDs are according to the sequencing version 8× coverage. NCBI locus nomenclature is shown for MYBCC and MRP because Genoscope annotation was not available in these cases.*Candidate genes selection based on literature review.§Candidate genes selection based on previous expression analysis (unpublished results). Codes used to designate candidate genes selected based on expression analysis were retrieved from UniProt database description.
