The study of polymorphism within the promoter region of the osteopontin (OPN) gene in sows.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to find a possible polymorphism in the promoter region of the osteopontin (OPN) gene, as a potential mutation region, connected with the transcription factor-binding sites or regulatory sequences and to estimate the expression of this gene in ovaries and oviduct of sows.
