Abstract excerpt
Myogenic factor 5 (myf-5) is the product of the MYF5 gene, belonging to the MyoD family. This transcription factor participates in the control of myogenesis. We identified 3 new mutations in the promoter region of the gene: A65C, C580T and C613T. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the A65C transversion on gene expression. The analysis was conducted on 15 Polish Large White gilts. The relative...
