Short summary
Genetics of horn traits in sheep are still under investigation. Icelandic sheep were chosen to further characterize this complex trait using known variants as it is highly variable for horn characteristics. Only the published variant for multi-hornedness was in perfect segregation. The absence of horns was analyzed in multi-horned sheep. Only tendencies of association were found for hornlessness and for different horn shapes and sizes, confirming previous results in other breeds.
