AB  - Novel and traditional eggshell quality measurements were made from up to 2000 
      commercial pedigree hens for a candidate gene association analysis with organic 
      eggshell matrix genes: ovocleidin-116, osteopontin (SPP1), ovocalyxin-32 
      (RARRES1), ovotransferrin (LTF), ovalbumin and ovocalyxin-36, as well as key 
      genes in the maintenance and function of the shell gland [estrogen receptor 
      (ESR1) and carbonic anhydrase II (CAII)]. Associations were found for (i) 
      ovalbumin with breaking strength and shell thickness; (ii) ovocleidin-116 with 
      elastic modulus, shell thickness and egg shape; (iii) RARRES1 with mammillary 
      layer thickness; (iv) ESR1 with dynamic stiffness; (v) SPP1 with fracture 
      toughness and (vi) CAII with egg shape. The marker effects are as large as 17% of 
      trait standard deviations and could be used to improve eggshell quality.
