Our objective here was to refine the position of this QTL and to define the candidate region for high-throughput sequencing. Methods In addition to those previously studied new Fleckvieh families were genotyped in order to increase the number of recombination events. Twelve new microsatellites and 240 SNP markers covering the most likely QTL region on BTA5 were analysed. Based on haplotype analysis performed in this complex pedigree families segregating for the low frequency allele of this QTL minor allele were selected. Single- and multiple-QTL analyses using combined linkage and linkage disequilibrium methods were performed. Results Single nucleotide polymorphism haplotype analyses on representative family sires and their ancestors revealed that the haplotype carrying the minor QTL allele is rare and most probably originates from a unique ancestor in the mapping population. Analyses of different subsets of families created according to the results of haplotype analysis and availability of SNP and microsatellite data refined the previously detected QTL affecting MY1 and PY1 to a region ranging from 117.962 Mb to 119.018 Mb 1.056 Mb on BTA5. However the possibility of a second QTL affecting only PY1 at 122.115 Mb was not ruled out. Conclusion This study demonstrates that .
