Missense mutations of NCPAG gene affect calving ease in Piedmontese cattle: preliminary evidences

A previous genome scan on 323 Piedmontese individuals identified a cluster of 13 SNPs significantly associated with direct calving ease and centred on the three genes LAP3, LCORL and NCAPG in chromosome 6. We investigated missense mutations affecting calving ease in Piedmontese cattle in the identif...
