Regulation of litter size in sheep (Ovis aries) by the GDF9 and BMP15 genes

The mutation types GDF9 S395F and S427R increase the ovulation rate in heterozygotes, while the homozygous form leads to infertility. This study presents a meta-analysis of GDF9 and BMP15 SNPs related to sheep litter size (LS). The results showed that simulation of the molecular recognition of GDF9...
