Part of exon 2, intron 3 and part of exon 3 (422 bp), exon 4 (214 bp) and part of intron 4, exon 5 and part of 3'UTR (365 bp) of growth hormone (GH) gene in Vembur and Kilakarsal sheep were screened by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) to analyse the genetic variants. MspI-RFLP of GH gene (422, 214 and 365 bp fragments) revealed absence of polymorphism in all the samples of both the breeds studied indicating no variation exists in the studied regions of GH gene.
