Abstract excerpt
The insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) gene was screened for genetic variants associated with trait means and trait correlations. Analysis of an unselected randomly mated White Leghorn population revealed a PstI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the 5' region of the gene which segregated at a frequency of 0.83 for the PstI(+) allele (presence of a PstI restriction site). A comparison of the...
