Absence of NsiI Polymorphism in Growth Hormone Receptor (GHR) Gene in Indian Cattle Breeds

چکیده
The objective of the present study was to investigate the polymorphism in 5′ non-coding region of growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene in Sahiwal (n = 53) and Hariana (n = 50) cattle using NsiI/PCR-RFLP assay. Amplification of DNA sample revealed 302bp product using specific primer pairs and digested by using NsiI restriction enzyme. All the screened animals were found monomorphic in nature for GHR/NsiI polymorphism. It revealed that only one type of uncut banding pattern (AA genotype); which was of 302bp. We could not identify any animal with GG and AG genotypes. Consequently, we could not perform association studies with milk production traits.

The growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a member of cytokine/hematopoietin family that mediates the biological actions of growth hormone (GH) on target tissues. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association of TG-repeat polymorphisms in the 5’-flanking region of bovine GHR gene with milk production traits and somatic cell score (SCS) in Holstein cattle of Iran. The part of 5’...

The gene coding for bovine GHR consists of nine protein-coding exons and untranslated, alternative exons 1A, 1B, and 1C in its 5’-region. Distinct promoters regulate transcription from each of the alternative exons. The P1 promoter which drives growth hormone receptor expression in the liver is associated with exon 1A. Earlier the nucleotide sequence polymorphisms have been identified in the bo...

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between growth hormone GH/AluI and growth hormone receptor GHR/AluI polymorphisms with milk yield and reproductive performances in Holstein dairy cows in Iran. Blood samples of 150 Holstein cows were collected and their genomic DNA was extracted using Gene-Fanavaran DNA extracting kit. Fragments of the 428 bp of exon 5 growth ho...

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) studies have indicated growth hormone receptor (GHR) as a candidate gene affecting cattle milk yield and composition. In order to characterize genetic variation at GHR in cattle, we studied European and East African breeds with different histories of selection, and Bos grunniens, Ovis aries, Sus scrofa, Bison bison and Rangifer tarandus as references. We sequenced ...
