The Booroola F gene mutation in sheep is not located close to the FSH-beta gene.

Journal of molecular endocrinology - 1 Oct 1990

Abstract excerpt

A cDNA probe for the beta subunit of bovine FSH (FSH-beta) detects multiple restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in sheep genomic DNA consistent with an insertion/deletion polymorphism around the FSH-beta locus. The presence of the insertion/deletion was confirmed by screening over 100 individuals with two restriction enzymes detecting RFLPs. All individuals showed the same patterns of fragments with...
