note = {Five genes, AMBP, GC, PPP1R3B, TNC and IFI6, whose candidacy for meat and carcass quality traits arises from their trait-dependent differential expression and/or trait correlated expression, were selected for analysis. Additionally, HNF1A was selected for association analysis. We were screening SNPs in F1 DuPi population by sequencing and used for genotyping. For all genes, the SNPs were genotyped in 423 animals from two pig populations including F2 Duroc x Pietrain (DuPi) (n = 313) and a commercial herd of Pietrain (Pi) (n = 110). Comparative and genetic mapping established the location of AMBP and TNC on SSC1, GC on SSC8, PPP1R3B on SSC15, IFI6 on SSC6 and HNF1A on SSC14, respectively coinciding with QTL regions for meat and carcass quality traits. Only, the polymorphism of IFI6 revealed association with drip loss, pH and also with several other measures of carcass and meat quality traits. SNP of AMBP, GC, PPP1R3B, TNC and HNF1A were associated with pH. AMBP was associated with conductivity, carcass length, backfat thickness and fat area. Polymorphism of GC was associated with fat area and carcass length. SNP of PPP1R3B was associated with meat colour, shear force and carcass length. SNP of TNC revealed association with meat colour, conductivity, muscle area and ham weight. Moreover, carcass quality traits such as meat percentage, muscle area and fat area were associated with HNF1A polymorphism. However, none of the candidate genes showed a significant association to a particular trait across all populations. This may be due to breed specific effects that are related to the differences in carcass and meat quality of these pig breeds. The mRNA and protein expression of IFI6 were up regulated in low drip loss. The expression of HNF1A was higher in low pH muscle. This study reveals statistic evidence for a link of genetic variation of the region of these loci with phenotypic variation and promotes AMBP, GC, PPP1R3B, TNC, IFI6 and HNF1A genes as functional and/or positional candidate genes for carcass and meat quality traits.},
