Association of a missense mutation in the bovine leptin gene with carcass fat content and leptin mRNA levels

Association of a missense mutation in the bovine leptin gene with carcass fat content and leptin mRNA levels

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Previously, we have shown that alleles of the <it>BM1500 </it>microsatellite, located 3.6 kb downstream of the leptin gene in cattle, were associated with carcass fat measures in a population of 154 unrelated beef bulls. Subsequently, a cytosine (C) t...
