Special variations within 11.7 kb fragment in goat polled intersex syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goat polled intersex syndrome (PIS) is a full association between the absence of horns and intersexuality. Several pairs of primer were designed to detect the complete or partial deletion of 11.7 kb fragment in PIS goat. We proved that the 11.7 kb fragment was not deleted completely but partially in PIS goat. The special 198 base substitutions were found between normal and PIS dairy goats, which formed haplotypes A and B, representing normal and PIS dairy goat, respectively. Another special variation was the 18 deletions forming 108 bases deletion that only exist in PIS dairy goat. It could be inferred that the special 198 base substitutions and 108 bases deletion might be triggered intersexuality in the dairy goat.

Polled Intersex Syndrome with urethral atresia in a goat.
A 5-day-old hornless goat was referred with dysuria since birth. The scrotum was absent, and a small penis-like structure was seen below the perineal raphe. On the laparotomy, the testicles were found near the inguinal ring- and attached to a uterus-like structure. On histological analysis, the uterus-like structure was blind-end. Germ cells were absent in the testis. The karyotype of this goat...
متن کاملMarker genome maps of the sheep and goat
The organisation of the domestic bovid genomes is very similar, thus ovine and caprine genome mapping may benefit from the most advanced bovine map. At present, there have been identified over 2000 markers in the sheep and over 700 in the goat. Recently, several spectacular examples of the genome map application for the identification of loci controlling important traits have been reported, for...
متن کاملFOXL2 Is a Female Sex-Determining Gene in the Goat
The origin of sex reversal in XX goats homozygous for the polled intersex syndrome (PIS) mutation was unclear because of the complexity of the mutation that affects the transcription of both FOXL2 and several long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Accumulating evidence suggested that FOXL2 could be the sole gene of the PIS locus responsible for XX sex reversal, the lncRNAs being involved in transcripti...
متن کاملFOXL2 activates P450 aromatase gene transcription: towards a better characterization of the early steps of mammalian ovarian development.
Previous studies have equated FOXL2 as a crucial actor in the ovarian differentiation process in different vertebrate species. Its transcriptional extinction in the polled intersex syndrome (PIS) leads primarily to a drastic decrease of aromatase (CYP19) expression in the first steps of goat ovarian development. In this study, we provide a better characterization of early ovarian development in...
متن کاملIndependent Polled Mutations Leading to Complex Gene Expression Differences in Cattle
The molecular regulation of horn growth in ruminants is still poorly understood. To investigate this process, we collected 1019 hornless (polled) animals from different cattle breeds. High-density SNP genotyping confirmed the presence of two different polled associated haplotypes in Simmental and Holstein cattle co-localized on BTA 1. We refined the critical region of the Simmental polled mutat...
