Comparison of genetic models for analysing the effects of a PvuII polymorphism in the oestrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene on prolificacy in an Iberian x Meishan pig population.

Abstract excerpt

The effect of a previously reported PvuII polymorphism in oestrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) was analysed in an F(2) population of Iberian x Meishan pigs. We tested three hypotheses: (1) that a causal mutation was fixed in the parental populations, (2) that a causal mutation existed that was in complete linkage disequilibrium with the alleles of the PvuII polymorphism and (3) that a causal mutation existed in linkage...
