Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) is a mediator of the effects of growth hormone and polymorphism in the IGF1 gene (<i>IGF1</i>) is reported to affect fat deposition in some livestock species. In this study, nucleotide sequence variation in three regions of ovine <i>IGF1</i> (part of the 5' flanking region, the exon 3 region, and the exon 4 region) was investigated in 848 New Zealand Romney lambs using PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analyses to ascertain if single nucleotid ...[more]
