Abstract excerpt
Quantitative individual differences in the amount of β-casein in goat milk are determined by at least nine alleles. In particular, two alleles (CSN2(0) and CSN2(01) ) are associated with an undetectable amount of this protein in milk. The CSN2(01) allele is characterized by a single nucleotide substitution at position 373 of the seventh exon (AJ011018:g.8915C>T), responsible for the formation of a premature stop...
