Investigation of allele frequencies of the growth hormone receptor (GHR) F279Y mutation in dairy and dual purpose cattle breeds
A major QTL for milk production traits was reported in the middle of bovine chromosome 20 and, for its map position, the growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene was considered a strong positional and functional candidate gene. A missense mutation in exon VIII (F279Y amino acid substitution) showed highly...
