Two Novel Rare Strongly Linked Missense SNPs (P27R and A85G) Within the GDF9 Gene Were Significantly Associated With Litter Size in Shaanbei White Cashmere (SBWC) Goats

Two Novel Rare Strongly Linked Missense SNPs (P27R and A85G) Within the GDF9 Gene Were Significantly Associated With Litter Size in Shaanbei White Cashmere (SBWC) Goats

Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) is a high-fertility candidate gene that plays a crucial role in early folliculogenesis in female mammals. In this study, direct sequencing was used to screen possible SNP loci in the goat GDF9 gene. Three SNP loci, p.proline27alanine (P27R), p.leucine61leucine...
