dc.description.abstractGrowth traits, such as body weight and height, are essential in the design of genetic improvement programs of dairy cattle due to their relationship with feeding efficiency, longevity, and health. We investigated genomic regions influencing height across growth stages in Japanese Holstein cattle using a single-step random regression model. We used 72,921 records from birth to 60 mo of age with 4,111 animals born between 2000 and 2016. The analysis included 1,410 genotyped animals with 35,319 single nucleotide polymorphisms, consisting of 883 females with records and 527 bulls, and 30,745 animals with pedigree information. A single genomic region at the 58.4 megabase pair on chromosome 18 was consistently identified across 6 age points of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 mo after multiple testing corrections for the significance threshold. Twelve candidate genes, previously reported for longevity and gestation length, were found near the identified genomic region. Another location near the identified region was also previously associated with body conformation, fertility, and calving difficulty. Functional Gene Ontology enrichment analysis suggested that the candidate genes regulate dephosphorylation and phosphatase activity. Our findings show that further study of the identified candidate genes will contribute to a better understanding of the genetic basis of height in Japanese Holstein cattle.en
