In the present study, among the genes nearby the associated SNP on chromosome 14, the genes GABRA1, GABRB2 and, especially, GABRA6 have previously been suggested to be associated with osteochondrosis in Standardbreds (McCoy et al. 2016), and Hanoverian warmblood horses (GABRA6) (Naccache, Metzger, and Distl 2018). Here, GABRA1 is linked to Osteochondrosis.
