A 1.8-kb insertion in the 3'-UTR of RXFP2 is associated with polledness in sheep.

Animal genetics - 1 Aug 2015

Wiedemar Natalie, Drögemüller Cord

Abstract excerpt

Sheep breeds show a broad spectrum of different horn phenotypes. In most modern production breeds, sheep are polled (absence of horns), whereas horns occur mainly in indigenous breeds. Previous studies mapped the responsible locus to the region of the RXFP2 gene on ovine chromosome 10. A 4-kb region of the 3'-end of RXFP2 was amplified in horned and polled animals from seven Swiss sheep breeds. Sequence analysis...
