on Chromosome 1q21–22, had an effect on animal production
(Woollard et al., 2000). So, goat POU1F1 gene
was a potential candidate gene for milk traits, weight,
reproduction and hair traits because of its regulation
expression of GH, PRL and TSHβ gene. Here, relationships
between AluI PCR-RFLPs and eight production
traits of 663 samples were done. Significant association
of different genotypes with milk yield (P < 0.05) and
birth weight (P < 0.05) implied that POU1F1 gene had
a positive effect on milk performance and early weight.
While goatPOU1F1gene did not exert significant effects
on hair traits. Hence, we firstly suggested that genotype
TC and TT could be regarded as molecular marker for
superior milk yield and birth weight, respectively.
