Variant <i>GDF9</i> mRNA is likely not the main cause of larger litter size in Iranian Lori-Bakhtyari, Shal, Ghezel, and Afshari sheep breeds

Variant <i>GDF9</i> mRNA is likely not the main cause of larger litter size in Iranian Lori-Bakhtyari, Shal, Ghezel, and Afshari sheep breeds

This study was carried out to screen the <i>GDF9</i> gene and evaluate the polymorphism effect on litter size of four Iranian sheep breeds using the PCR-RFLP and PCR-SSCP methods. First, sequencing of the <i>GDF9</i> gene in 16 twin-birth, 4 triplet-birth, and 2 infertile...
