Cross-species summary: Abnormal increase in muscular tissue caused entirely by enlargement of existing cells (in contrast to muscular hyperplasia, in which the abnormal increase in muscular tissue is due to the formation and growth of new, normal muscle cells)

Mapping: Hou et al. (2023): "The phenotypic data of body weight (BW) and body size (BS) of 556 meat pigeons at 52 and 80 weeks of age were collected. In total, 160 434 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphism sites were obtained by restriction site-associated DNA sequencing. The GWAS analysis revealed that MSTN, IGF2BP3 and NCAPG/LCORL were important candidate genes affecting the growth traits of meat pigeons. ... Phenotypic association validation with the use of two meat pigeon populations found that the MSTN mutation c.C861T [p.(T287T)] determines the MM [muscle mass]."
