  1. The six polymorphic sites influencing the amino acid sequence of BCO2 in 4 yellow fat individuals and 2 controls. The nucleotide positions are numbered according to first base of the translation start codon of the ovine BCO2 gene (FN257486). c.196C>T, c.478C>T and c.943T>A are verified by additional genotyping and submitted to dbSNP (NCBI_ss# BCO2-196 181341842, BCO2-478 181341843, BCO2-943 181341844). The amino acids shown in italic are assumed to not be translated.
