“…Our results indicated that the genotype frequencies for POU1F1/Hinf1 were in balance (P>0.05), likely due to the closed barn environment, absence of external migration, and controlled breeding practices. Similarly in our study, it has been reported that POU1F1/HinfI genotype frequencies are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in Holstein calves, Anatolian Black Steppe, and Turkish Grey cattle (Ozdemir et al, 2018;Cobanoglu and Ardicli, 2022;Fındık and Özdemir, 2022;Sakar and Zülkadir, 2022;Sadeghi et al, 2022), and similarly, genotype distributions are balanced in Holstein Friesian, Brown Swiss, and Simmental cattle breeds (Mohammadabadi et al, 2015;Aytekin and Bayraktar, 2022). On the other hand, in different cattle breeds such as Grati-Ongole, Bos Indicus, and Bali cattle (Bos javanicus), it has been reported that Pit-1 genotype distributions are not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and there are deviations in HW equilibrium (Jakaria and Noor, 2015;Hartati et al, 2018).…”
