GRAMD3
F1NDM3
Morphology
No coding mutation in GRAMD3. The expression of GRAMD3 gene in the dermis tissues of the shank was significantly (P = 0.010738 < 0.05) higher in 350-day-old Gushi chickens characterized by the dermal shank pigmentation than in one-day-old Gushi chickens. Variation in the flanking region of GRAMD3 probably leads to the abnormal expression of GRAMD3.
