Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) is a mediator of the effects of growth hormone and polymorphism in the IGF1 gene (IGF1) is reported to affect fat deposition in some livestock species. In this study, nucleotide sequence variation in three regions of ovine IGF1 (part of the 5' flanking region, the exon 3 region, and the exon 4 region) was investigated in 848 New Zealand Romney lambs using PCR-single strand...
