Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the bovine SLC2A12 and SLC5A1 glucose transporter genes - the effect on gene expression and milk traits of Holstein Friesian cows.

Abstract excerpt

In this study, novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found in the 5'-regulatory regions (promoters) of the bovine glucose transporter (GT) genes SLC2A12 and SLC5A1. These polymorphisms were shown to associate with certain milk production traits in HF cows, including milk yield, milk composition, and somatic cell count. It was shown that the SNP g.-671C > G (NC_037336.1: g.72224078C > G) in the SLC2A12...
