This method was applied to data from a genome scan that was used to detect QTL for three independent milk production traits Australian Selection Index ASI protein percentage p and fat percentage corrected for protein percentage F - p . These four different scenarios are attributed to four biological pathways QTL that 1 increase or decrease total mammary gland production affecting ASI only 2 increase or decrease lactose synthesis resulting in the volume of milk being changed but without a change in protein or fat yield affecting p only 3 increase or decrease protein synthesis while milk volume remains relatively constant affecting ASI and p in the same direction 4 increase or decrease fat synthesis while the volume of milk remains relatively constant affecting F - p only . The results indicate that of the positions that detected a gene most affected one trait and not the others though a small proportion affected ASI and p in the same direction. bivariate analysis independent traits pleiotropy genome scan false discovery rate 1. INTRODUCTION As a result of complex biochemical developmental and regulatory pathways a polymorphism in a single gene will almost always influence multiple traits a phenomenon known as pleiotropy 6 8 . In classical quantitative genetics pleiotropy is recognised by genetic correlations. The existence
