Two single nucleotide polymorphisms sites in α1-AT gene and their association with somatic cell score in Chinese Holstein cows

Table 5 Least square means (LSM) and standard error (SE) for somatic cell scores of different genotypes

Polymorphic site	Genotype	Number of samples	Somatic cell score
G5503A	AA	97	4.27 ± 0.13^a
	AB	124	3.81 ± 0.10^b
	BB	46	3.29 ± 0.18^c
G5746C	CC	93	3.97 ± 0.15^a
	CD	131	3.91 ± 0.11^a
	DD	43	3.65 ± 0.20^a

Least squares means with the same superscript for the same site have no significant difference (p > 0.05). Least squares means with the different superscripts for the same site differ significantly (p < 0.05)
