Abstract:

Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) is a main receptor of IGFs family which plays a critical role in the postnatal growth and skeletal growth in many species. However, there are few reports of IGF-1R gene structure and its effects on growth traits in sheep. The objectives of this study were detection of IGF-1R polymorphisms and assessment of their associations with growth traits in Iranian Makooei Sheep. Hence, 200 Makooei lambs were genotyped through polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP). The studied traits were birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), 6 months weight (6MW), average daily gains from birth to 3 months (ADG0-3), from 3 months to 6 months (ADG3-6), from birth to 6 months (ADG0-6) and corresponding Kleiber ratios (KR0-3, KR3-6, KR0-6).For this genetic position, three types of banding patterns (AA, AB and BB) were identified with the frequencies of 0.69, 0.16 and 0.15, respectively. In this study, IGF-1R genotypes indicated the significant associations with 6MW, ADG0-6, KR0-3 (P<0.05) and ADG0-3 (P<0.01). In all of the significant traits, The AAgenotype was linked to the highest values, while the BBgenotype was linked to the lowest values. The results of this study indicated that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variation in IGF-1R gene can be used as a molecular marker for improving of growth traits in marker assisted selection programs in sheep.

Association of IGF-I Gene Polymorphisms with Carcass Traits in Iranian Mehraban Sheep Using SSCP Analysis

Molecular genetics selection on individual genes is a promising method to genetically improve economically important traits in livestock. The insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene may play important roles in growth of multiple tissues, including muscle cells, cartilage and bone. The objectives of the present study were the estimate the haplotype frequencies of the IGF-I gene polymorphisms i...

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...

Recent pre-clinical and clinical studies have revealed the C-reactive protein gene (CRP) is related to the degree of acute rise in plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Moreover, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CRP gene could associate with increased risk of cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, obstructive pulmonary disease,...

Polymorphisms of the Ovine Leptin Gene and its Association with Growth and Carcass Traits in Three Iranian Sheep Breeds

Leptin (LEP), the expression product of the obese gene produced primarily in the adipose tissue, is related to feed intake, growth and lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to study the possible association between polymorphism of the LEP gene with growth and carcass traits among three Iranian sheep breeds of the Shal, Zandi and Zel varieties. A total of 180 purebred animals of the Shal, ...
