Abstract excerpt
The thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), a glycoprotein hormone receptor, plays an important role in metabolic regulation and photoperiod control in the time of reproduction in birds and mammals. Previous genome-wide association studies revealed that the TSHR gene was related to reproduction and its function was identified in female reproduction, but rare studies reported the polymorphism of TSHR gene....
