Short summary
The pre-weaning and weaning traits of sheep breeds native to Türkiye were studied. The rs427117280 intronic mutation in ENSOARG00020011332 was associated with the weaning weight and average daily gain until weaning in lambs. The weaning weight and average daily gain were higher for the GG genotype than for the TG and TT genotypes.
