Mutation of TWNK Gene Is One of the Reasons of Runting and Stunting Syndrome Characterized by mtDNA Depletion in Sex-Linked Dwarf Chicken

Runting and stunting syndrome (RSS), which is characterized by low body weight, generally occurs early in life and leads to considerable economic losses in the commercial broiler industry.
