**Allelic Frequencies of a SacII RFLP at Exon 7 of the β-lactoglobulin Gene in Turkish Hair Goat Breed**

Polymorphism in the exon 7 to the 3’ flanking region of β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) gene in Turkish hair goat populations were investigated. The study was carried out including 233 hair goats using PCR-RFLP. Digestion of amplification product with SacII restriction enzyme revealed two alleles namely S₁ and S₂ (which was produced by a single nucleotide substitution) and three genotypes (S₁S₁, S₁S₂ and S₂S₂) in the studied population. The genotypic frequencies of S₁S₁ and S₁S₂ were almost equal. S₂S₂ genotype was found to be lower than other genotypes (S₁S₁ and S₁S₂) in the studied population. The allele frequencies of S₁ and S₂ at β-lg locus were 0.67 and 0.33 in hair goat population, respectively. Deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was not detected.
