A recent L1 insertion within SPEF2 gene is associated with changes in PRLR expression in sow reproductive organs.

Abstract excerpt

The immotile short tail sperm (ISTS) defect was recognized in the Finnish Yorkshire population at the end of the 1990s when several affected boars were identified. The causal mutation for this defect is a recent L1 insertion within the SPEF2 gene. In 2001, the insertion frequency was already 0.23. Even though all homozygous boars are eliminated from the population due to infertility, the amount of affected boars...
