Anti-Müllerian hormone as an endocrine biomarker of reproductive longevity and assessment of single nucleotide polymorphisms in AMH gene of Bos indicus breeds of cattle.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a member of the TGF-β superfamily produced by follicular granulosa cells in women and cattle and is considered an endocrine biomarker of ovarian follicular reserve. The study examined how age and parity influence serum AMH concentration and investigated the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms in AMH gene in Bos indicus breeds viz Malnad Gidda Amritmahal and Hallikar. All five exons of AMH gene amplified by polymerase chain reaction were subjected to sanger sequencing and identified important SNP and its effects.
