Short summary
The aim of the study was to provide useful information on a genome region of particular interest for dairy goats. Thirty SNPs, located within the casein gene cluster, were used to characterize the haplotypic variability of Girgentana, Maltese, Rossa Mediterranea, Argentata dell'Etna, Messinese and Capra dell'Aspromonte breeds, plus a sample of the Norwegian dairy goat. Our findings could help interpret the history of selection of these breeds and represent a potential tool for future management.
