Chicken growth traits are economically important, but the relevant genetic mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. Herein, we performed a genome-wide association study to identify the variants associated with growth traits. In total, 860 chickens from a Gushi-Anka F2 resource population were phenotyped for 68 growth and carcass traits, and 768 samples were genotyped based on the genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) method. Finally, 734 chickens and 321,314 SNPs remained after quality control and removal of the sex chromosomes, and these data were used to carry out a GWAS analysis. A total of 470 significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for 43 of the 68 traits were detected and mapped on chromosomes (Chr) 1-6, -9, -10, -16, -18, -23, and -27. Of these, the significant SNPs in Chr1, -4, and -27 were found to be associated with more than 10 traits. Multiple traits shared significant SNPs, indicating that the same mutation in the region might have a large effect on multiple growth or carcass traits. Haplotype analysis revealed that SNPs within the candidate region of Chr1 presented a mosaic pattern. The significant SNPs and pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the MLNR, MED4, CAB39L, LDB2, and IGF2BP1 genes could be putative candidate genes for growth and carcass traits. The findings of this study improve our understanding of the genetic mechanisms regulating chicken growth and carcass traits and provide a theoretical basis for chicken breeding programs.
