Poster: Litter size in Norwegian White Sheep
... In 2011 we realized that a mutation in the GDF9 gene (c.1111G>A or V371M) is associated with an increase in litter size. The mutation increases the litter size by approximately 0.3 lambs per copy of the allele. The variance in litter size increases with the mean. 850 ewes from flocks with both a hig ...

Point mutation
A point mutation, or single base modification, is a type of mutation that causes a single nucleotide base change, insertion, or deletion of the genetic material, DNA or RNA. The term frameshift mutation indicates the addition or deletion of a base pair. A point mutant is an individual that is affected by a point mutation.Repeat induced point mutations are recurring point mutations, discussed below.
