alpha sub(S1)-Cn super(D), another allele associated with a decreased synthesis rate at the caprine alpha sub(S1)-casein locus

A seventh allele of the caprine alpha sub(S1)-casein locus, called alpha sub(S1)-Cn super(D), was observed in French Alpine and Saanen breeds. Its frequency in a large herd (N 198) was 0.025. Like alpha sub(S1)-Cn super(B-), alpha sub(S1)-Cn super(F) and alpha sub(S1)-Cn super(O), this allele is ass...

Summary:A seventh allele of the caprine alpha sub(S1)-casein locus, called alpha sub(S1)-Cn super(D), was observed in French Alpine and Saanen breeds. Its frequency in a large herd (N 198) was 0.025. Like alpha sub(S1)-Cn super(B-), alpha sub(S1)-Cn super(F) and alpha sub(S1)-Cn super(O), this allele is associated with a decreased synthesis rate, its approximate mean contribution being 0.6 - 0.8 g/l, very close to that of alpha super(S1)-Cn super(F).
