Effects of the sex-linked dwarf gene (dw) on the expression of the muscular dystrophy gene (am) in chicken.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Buhr R J, Abbott U K, Abplanalp H, Tyler W S

Abstract excerpt

The sex-linked dwarf gene (dw) was introduced into companion muscular dystrophic (am) and nondystrophic (Am+) New Hampshire chicken lines to investigate influences of the dwarf gene on breast muscle weights, muscle fiber area, and the histological expression of muscular dystrophy. Dystrophic and nondystrophic chickens within dwarf or nondwarf genotypes were similar in body and carcass weights. Pectoralis and...
