Genetic polymorphisms at the leptin receptor gene in three beef cattle breeds

Genetic polymorphisms at the leptin receptor gene in three beef cattle breeds

The genetic diversity of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the exon 20 (T945M) of the leptin receptor gene (LEPR) and of three short tandem repeats (STRs BM7225, BMS694, and BMS2145) linked to LEPR was investigated in three beef cattle herds (Brangus Ibagé, Charolais, and Aberdeen Angus). A...
