FSHR genotype affects estrogen levels but not pregnancy rates in Luxi cattle subjected to embryo transfer

W. C. Yang, Li, S. J., Chen, L., and Yang, L. G., FSHR genotype affects estrogen levels but not pregnancy rates in Luxi cattle subjected to embryo transfer, vol. 13, pp. 1563-1569, 2014.

Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), which mediates the functioning of FSH, plays a central role in reproduction. We investigated bovine FSHR gene polymorphisms and analyzed their relationships with pregnancy rates after embryo transfer and with hormone concentrations on the day of embryo transfer. One reported SNP of FSHR, G-278A, located in the 5'-upstream region, was analyzed and three genotypes (GG, GA and AA) were detected in 132 Luxi cattle recipients.
