Abstract excerpt
The estrogen receptor (ESR) gene and follicle-stimulating hormone β (FSHβ) gene are responsible for litter traits. The present study aimed to verify the polymorphisms of ESR and FSHβ and assess their effects on the litter traits in 201 Large White pigs. Four SNPs (g.C669T, g.A1296G, g.C1665T and g.A1755G) were found in ESR. The TT genotype at g.C1665T locus and AA genotype at g.A1755G locus could significantly...
