Abstract excerpt
The association of two diallelic polymorphisms in the porcine genes for leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) with number of piglets born alive (NBA) in two German pig lines was studied. The investigated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the porcine LIF gene has been located in the 3'-untranslated region of its third exon, whereas the SNP in the RBP4 gene genotyped in this...
