Abstract excerpt
The p110δ isoform of the PI3K catalytic subunit (encoded by the PIK3CD gene) is a key component of the PI3K pathway for follicle growth in mammalian ovarian granulosa cells. Nevertheless, little is known about the association of its polymorphisms with ovine litter size. In this study, the distribution of different genotypes of two SNPs in the PIK3CD gene was calculated in more than forty sheep breeds, and the...
