The novel 22 bp insertion mutation in a promoter region of the <i>PITX2</i> gene is associated with litter size and growth traits in goats
<p>The paired-like homeodomain 2 (<i>PITX2</i>) gene plays a critical role in regulating development, reproduction, and growth traits in ruminants. Hence, the objective of this study was to explore the polymorphisms of this gene and to evaluate their associations with quantitati...
