The present study was aimed to determine the association between metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) and collagen type X alpha I (COL10A1) gene polymorphisms with traits related to leg weakness in pigs. Three hundred Duroc × Pietrain cross breds (DuPi) and 299 pigs...
