1. The role of polymorphisms of the MSTN, GRIN2B and DOCK8 genes in the performance of pace-racing Icelandic horses
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : This study investigated the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of three different genes with pace racing performance in the Icelandic horse. The SNPs chosen were PR3737, PR8604 and PR9482 of the Myostatin gene; SNPs g.41206762 C>T and g.41218272 T>C of the GRIN2B gene and SNP g. READ MORE

2. The role of Myostatin polymorphisms in the Finnhorse and Shetland pony breeds
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Myostatin, encoded by the MSTN gene, is a member of the transforming growth factor β that normally acts to limit skeletal muscle mass by regulating both the number and growth of muscle fibers. Natural mutations that decrease the amounts of myostatin and/or inhibit its function have been identified in several cattle, sheep and dog breeds, where loss-of-function mutations cause increased skeletal muscle mass and produce a phenotype known as “double-muscling”.
