Broiler Genes

[Alex_Zurago]

I know of a couple genes which have unique permutations in broilers, the first being one on chr2: 143,708,896 bp G896A this gene affects muscle growth rate. The next being a mutation of the Chr4: 77,192,329 CCKAR gene affecting appetite. What other genes specific to broilers result in their enormous muscle growth rate?
