Abstract:Background: Multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) makes an assignable contribution to male infertility, including QRICH2 , CFAP43 , CFAP44 , CFAP69 , CCDC39 , AKAP4 and DNAH1 gene. This work studied 28 putative indel mutations of MMAF related genes including QRICH2 , CFAP69 , CFAP43 , CCDC39 and DNAH1 gene and their correlation with the first-born litter sizes of 769 Shaanbei white cashmere (SBWC) goats.
Results: Electrophoresis and DNA sequencing analysis showed the 11-bp indel wit… Show more
