Genetic markers in sheep meat breeding by A. V. Deykin, M. I. Selionova, A. Yu. Krivoruchko, D. V. Kovalenko, V. I. Truhachev

“…The problem of finding reliable communication between productivity features and genetic markers has not yet been solved, because productivity is a set of features (unlike, for example, monogenic diseases) and its expression depends on the balance between various physiological functions. By contrast, imbalance may cause reduced productivity as a whole even if there is a positive role of prevailing element. …”
