چکیده

in this study, we investigated the relationship between the genetic polymorphism of growth differentiation factor 9 (gdf9) genes and the litter size in 384 individuals of five breeds of black goats. four pairs of primers were designed to detect single nucleotide polymorphism of gdf9 gene in goats by pcr-sscp. the least square was used to analyze the relation between different genotypes and the litter size. the results showed that the pcr products from primer pair 1 (p1) displayed polymorphisms in three genotypes (aa, ab and bb) in big foot (bf) and jintang (jt) black goats. for primer pairs of p2, p3 and p4, there was no polymorphism. the sequencing results revealed that there was a single nucleotide mutation (a792→g) in exon 2 of gdf9 gene in bf and jt black goats, and this mutation resulted in an amino acid change: valine→isoleucine. in bf and jt black goats, the average litter size in the third parity was significantly higher in genotype aa than both genotypes of ab and bb while the average little size of genotype ab was higher than that of genotype bb in the same parity. gdf9 gene could be therefore considered as a candidate gene for marker-assisted selection of litter size trait in goats.

Polymorphisms in GDF9 Gene and Its Relationship with Litter Size in Five Breeds of Black Goats

In this study, we investigated the relationship between the genetic polymorphism of growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) genes and the litter size in 384 individuals of five breeds of black goats. Four pairs of primers were designed to detect single nucleotide polymorphism of GDF9 gene in goats by PCR-SSCP. The least square was used to analyze the relation between different genotypes and the ...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) of GDF9 Gene in Bahmaei and Lak Ghashghaei Sheep Breeds and Its Association with Litter Size

Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) belong to the superfamily of transforming growth factor β that is highly expressed in growing ovarian follicles of oocyte, and it has been strongly related to fecundity traits in sheep. Therefore, the GDF9 gene could serve as a genetic marker for improvement of reproductive performance in sheep. Therefore, the aim of this study was to invest...

Polymorphism of the Melatonin Receptor 1A Gene and Its Association with Litter Size in Zel and Naeini Sheep Breeds

The influence of melatonin receptor 1A gene on litter size was studied in 150 ewes from Zel (n=100) and Naeini (n=50) sheep breeds. Two restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses were done to determine all genotypes occurring by variations at MnlI and RsaI restriction sites. The M and C were the most frequent alleles in both of these breeds. The MM genotype was predominant in Zel ...

Association of Exon 4 Region of Gpr54 Gene Polymorphisms with Litter Size Trait in Iranian Sanjabi and Ghezel Sheep Breeds by PCR –SSCP

G-protein-coupled receptor (GPR54) is one of the known gene affecting fecundity. This gene  affects  the ovulation rate and litter size performance. A total of 160 animals including Sanjabi (n=100) and Ghezel (n=60) were used to identify polymorphisms of GPR54 gene and  their influence on litter size. Genomic DNA was extracted by commercial DNA kit. The genotypic patterns were detected using th...

Novel single nucleotide polymorphisms of GnRHR gene and their association with litter size in goats

In the present study, the polymorphisms of gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) gene were analysed as a genetic marker candidate for litter size in 720 individuals from Shaanan goats (SG) and Boer goats (BG). Two alleles (A and C), two observed genotypes (AA and AC), and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected. The frequencies of alleles A and C in two goat breeds were 0...
