Abstract excerpt
The bovine growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene has been identified as a strong positional and functional candidate gene influencing milk production. A non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in exon 8 leads to a phenylalanine to tyrosine amino acid substitution (F279Y) in the receptor. The aim of the study was to estimate the effects of the F279Y mutation on milk yield, fat, protein, casein, and...
