  • Title: Transferrin and haemoglobin polymorphism in domesticated goats in the USA.
    Author: Wang SQ, Foote WC, Bunch TD.
    Journal: Anim Genet; 1991; 22(1):91-4. PubMed ID: 2024785.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of transferrin (Tf) and haemoglobin (Hb) polymorphisms in five goat breeds in the USA is reported. Two Tf types, A and B, were identified. A significant difference in frequency (P less than 0.05) was observed only between the Spanish and Alpine goats. Haemoglobin beta-globin variants, Hb beta A, Hb beta D and Hb beta E were observed with isoelectric focusing at pH ranges 5-8 and 6.7-7.7. Hb beta D was not found in the Alpine and Angora breeds. Haemoglobin allelic frequencies varied widely and differed significantly (P less than 0.05) among breeds.
