Intotal, 1713 cows with genotypes and phenotypes were <strong>available</strong>. In total, 45,999 SNPsd<strong>is</strong>tributed across 29 bovine autosomes were used in the single and multiple SNP analyses.Results. <strong>The</strong> same main four chromosomal regions on BTA5, 6, 11, and 14 were detected inthe single and multiple SNP analys<strong>is</strong>. <strong>The</strong> proportion <strong>of</strong> genetic variance explained by each <strong>of</strong>the SNPs in the single SNP analys<strong>is</strong> was higher compared to the SNP with the highestposterior probability in the multiple SNP analys<strong>is</strong>, except for β-casein. Summing up theproportion <strong>of</strong> genetic variance explained by adjacent SNPs next to the SNP with the highestposterior probability in the multiple SNP analys<strong>is</strong>, resulted in an increase <strong>of</strong> the geneticvariance explained similar to the SNP most significantly associated in the single SNPanalys<strong>is</strong>, except for β-casein. <strong>The</strong>re was one additional region on BTA7 detected in themultiple SNP analys<strong>is</strong>. <strong>The</strong> number <strong>of</strong> SNPs with effects <strong>is</strong> considerably lower in the multipleSNP analys<strong>is</strong> as compared to the single SNP analys<strong>is</strong>.Conclusions. Multiple SNP analys<strong>is</strong> result in higher power and in higher mapping prec<strong>is</strong>ionto detect QTL as compared to the single SNP analys<strong>is</strong>.24
