Does heterozygosity at the DMRT3 gene make French trotters better racers?

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 26 Feb 2015

Ricard Anne

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recently, a mutation was discovered in the DMRT3 gene that controls pacing in horses. The mutant allele A is fixed in the American Standardbred trotter breed, while in the French trotter breed, the frequency of the wild-type allele C is still 24%. This study aimed at measuring the effect of DMRT3 genotypes on the performance of French trotters and explaining why the polymorphism still occurs in this...
