| Abstract: | A new, partially deficient transferrin variant (TF F) was found in serum samples of a wild boar and his offspring from crossing with Pietrain sows. Family analyses confirmed its genetic control by a codominant allele, TFF. Finding of this new variant has brought the total number of pig transferrin variants to nine (F, I, A, B, C, X, D', E, D). |
