β¦ Synopsis
Two novel alleles at the goat CSN1S2 locus have been identified: CSN1S2^F^ and CSN1S2^D^. Sequence analyses revealed that the CSN1S2^F^ allele is characterized by a G β A transition at the 13th nucleotide in exon 3 changing the seventh amino acid of the mature protein from Val to Ile. The CSN1S2^D^ allele, apparently associated with a decreased synthesis of __Ξ±__s2βcasein, is characterized by a 106βbp deletion, involving the last 11βbp of the exon 11 and the first 95βbp of the following intron. Methods (PCRβRFLP and PCR) for identification of carriers of these alleles have been developed.
