TI  - Single nucleotide polymorphisms of GDF9 gene/exon 2 region and their associations
with milk yield and milk content traits in Karakaş and Norduz sheep breeds
AB  - Karakaş and Norduz sheep have been adapted to the Lake Van region of Turkey for many years as being domestic genetic
resources and meat, milk, and fleece traits are a reliable economic resource especially preferred by small family businesses around the
area. In this study, the data set consisted of milk yield (MY) and milk content components; milk fat (MF), fat-free dry matter (FFDM),
dry matter (DM), protein (Pro), lactose (Lac), pH, acidity H (aH), and lactic acid (Lac). Besides, Karakaş (n = 30) and Norduz (n = 26)
sheep were chosen to investigate based on the SNP method. Correspondingly, genomic DNA from both breeds exon 2 of the GDF9 gene
region was amplified, 815 base pairs (bp) in length, by means of PCR. Therefore, there were three noval SNPs detected in both breeds
under investigation. Although SNP1 and 2 with genotypes of GG and AG had statistically significant impacts on both milk production
and milk components (p < 0.01), SNP3 with genotypes of TT, TC had no significant effects on the milk characteristics in question.
