New polymorphism in the 5′ flanking region of IGF-1 gene and its association with wool traits in Egyptian Barki sheep

This study adds evidence of the association between IGF-1 gene polymorphism and CFW of wool in Egyptian Barki sheep. Therefore; it is important to consider IGF-1 gene as a candidate gene marker for wool weight traits and it should be identified before using successful breeding program.
