A study was conducted to find the single nucleotide polymorphism in the aromatase gene in nine Indian sheep breeds. Polymorphism was recorded in the Indian sheep breeds which have both the alleles A/B in the populations. The overall frequencies of alleles A and B in the breeds and crossbreds were 0.48 and 0.52, respectively. AB genotype predominated in all the breeds, whereas AA and BB genotype was absent in Magra, Patanwadi and Dumba breeds.
