Sequencing-based polymorphism in leptin receptor gene and lack of association with postpartum anestrus in Murrah bufaloes

In order to detect polymorphism in exon 20 of the leptin receptor (LEPR) gene and its possible association with postpartumanestrus (PPA), peripheral blood samples were obtained from 40 Murrah bufaloes including 20 PPA (>120 days afer parturition)and 20 normal cyclic (
