Genes controlling ovulation rate in sheep.

Reproduction (Cambridge, England) - 1 Jun 2001

Montgomery G W, Galloway S M, Davis G H, McNatty K P

Abstract excerpt

Sheep provide a valuable model for studying the genetic control of ovulation rate. Recent progress includes the identification of mutations in BMP15 (bone morphogenetic protein 15) that increase ovulation rate in heterozygous carriers and block follicular development in homozygous carriers. The genes characterized to date appear to act principally within the ovary and result in earlier maturity of granulosa cells...
