Missense mutations in exon 2 of the porcine leptin receptor gene and their associations with litter size and body weight

Leptin receptor (LEPR) gene is regarded as a "candidate-gene" of production traits. The aims of this study were to detect polymorphisms of exon 2 within LEPR gene and to investigate their associations with production traits, litter size and live weight in Luchuan and Large White pig breeds...
