Genotypic Frequency in Asian Native Chicken Populations and Gene Expression Using Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1) Gene Promoter Polymorphism

A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) site, alleles A and C, within promoter region of insulin-like growth factor 1 gene (IGF1) showed significant association with chicken growth, body composition and skeletal traits. In the present study, we performed genotyping of this SNP in Asian native chicke...
