Linear regression analyses performed on the 5 affected 6-month-old GRMD dogs are shown for those genes whose transcript levels (x-axis) correlated with phenotypic measurement values (y-axis). Each plot shows the linear regression equation and correlation coefficient (R ²). Results are not shown for 12-month-old GRMD dogs because there were only 3 affected dogs in that group. CT = cranial tibialis, MHG = medial head of the gastrocnemius, ECD = eccentric contraction deficiency (at 10 or 30 stimulations), quad fem wt g = quadriceps femoris weight in grams
