Abstract: Genetic model and genetic effects on litter size of BMPR-IB gene mutation, BMP15 gene mutation and GDF9 gene mutation were reviewed in this article in details. And Woodlands gene, Thoka gene and Lacaune gene are known to exist from the expressed inheritance patterns and Olkuska gene, Belle-Ile gene, and NZ Longwool genes are putative prolificacy genes from the expressed inheritance patterns were reviewed, too. The aim of this review is to provide theory for using of these markers and assisted selection in animal breeding.
