Leptin and leptin receptor gene polymorphisms are correlated with production performance in the Arctic fox

M. Zhang and Bai, X. J., Leptin and leptin receptor gene polymorphisms are correlated with production performance in the Arctic fox, vol. 14, pp. 5560-5570, 2015.

The polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conforma­tion polymorphism technique was employed to measure mononucleo­tide diversity in the coding region of the leptin and leptin receptor genes in the Arctic fox. The relationships between specific genetic mutations and reproductive performance in Arctic foxes were determined to im­prove breeding strategies. We found that a leptin gene polymorphism was significantly associated with body weight (P
