PIT1 Gene Action in Mouse

Jhansi Rani K

PIT1 gene lead to increased weaning weight, without the birth weight improvement. However, the distinction in PIT1 behavior observed between the two genetic groups denotes the need to test the effects of this polymorphism on different populations before using it in marker-assisted choice. It conjointly indicates the necessity for a much better understanding of the genetic mechanisms involved in the physiology of this pituitary transcription factor in the process of growth in cattle.
