Genetic Polymorphism of Leptin Gene Using Pcr-rflp Method in Three Different Populations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This investigation was conducted to identify polymorphism of the leptin gene in Holstein cows, Mazandarani native cattle and buffaloes by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The frequencies of A and B alleles were 0.4 and 0. 6 in Holstein cows, 0.56 and 0.44 in Mazandarani native cattle, 0.61 and 0.35 in buffaloes, respectively. The heterozygote genotype (AB) had the highest frequency in all three populations: 0.73, 0.622 and 0.509 in Holstein cows, Mazandarani cattle and buffaloes, respectively. Chi-square test showed that Mazandarani cattle and buffaloes were in HardyWeinberg equilibrium but Holstein cows were not in equilibrium.

The use of polymorphic markers in breeding programmes could make selection more accurate and efficient. A total of 324 individuals from six Iranian cattle populations (Sarabi, Golpayegani, Sistani, Taleshi, Mazandarani, Dashtiyari), F1 Golpayegani × Brown Swiss and Iranian buffalo populations were genotypedfor the Pit-1 HinfI and leptin Sau3AI polymorphisms by the polymerase chain reactio...

The genotypes for calpastatin (CAST) and calpain (CAPN) loci were determined by PCR-RFLP and PCRSSCPmethods. Blood samples were collected from 200 pure-bred Zel sheep from Shirang’s Zel sheep Breeding Station located in south-west of Golestan, Iran. Extraction of genomic DNA was performed based on the modified salting out method. Based on results, two investigated loci were polymorphic an...
متن کاملLipid Profile and Leptin Levels in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome
Abstract Background and Objective: Metabolic syndrome called a cluster of several metabolic disorders is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Genetic differences in leptin receptor gene are related with the concentration and activity of leptin in that these discrepancies can influence lipid levels. We aimed to determine the association between the leptin receptor gene p...
