Abstract excerpt
The growth hormone (GH) and its receptor (GHR) are crucial regulators of growth traits in cattle. In this study, we identified two novel single SNPs in the GH and GHR genes of Anatolian Southern Yellow cattle and evaluated their association with key growth parameters. The first SNP, c.491 C > G, was identified in exon 2 of the GH gene, resulting in a missense mutation that substitutes leucine with valine....
