ASSOCIATION OF CYP17 GENE POLYMORPHISME IN PRODUCTIVE AND REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE IN GOAT

This study was conducted in the Ruminants Research Station, Office of Agricultural Research/ Ministry Agriculture- Iraq to detect CYP17 gene polymorphisms Local and Shami goat, as well establish if SNPs could be associated with some productive reproductive traits such total milk yield (TMY) its components, addition which included litter size fertility. An important single nucleotide (SNPs) (G2276C) were found studying fragment (804 bp), include Exon2, intron2, partial Exon3 by using DNA sequencing technique, two genotypes produced wild GG GC both breeds. Results proposed a highly differences among distribution percentage allele frequencies breeds, stated significant relationship between this fat size, where hetero genotype exceeded whereas distinguished goat.
