RESUMENEl presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la frecuencia alélica y genotípica del gen kappa-caseína (κ-CN) en ganado bovino criollo. Se recolectaron 48 muestras de sangre de bovinos de nueve centros poblados del distrito de Bambamarca (Cajamarca, Perú). Se extrajo el ADN y la genotipificación se realizó mediante análisis de RFLP-PCR del gen κ-CN. Las frecuencias genotípicas encontradas fueron de 0.56, 0.27 y 0.17 para los genotipos AB, AA y BB, respectivamente, en tanto que las frecuencias alélicas resultaron ser de 0.552 y 0.448 para los alelos A y B, respectivamente. Se concluye que los animales evaluados presentan una baja proporción de individuos con el genotipo deseado BB, genotipo que favorece la producción de queso.

For this purpose, 48 blood samples were collected from animals in nine villages of the Bambamarca district, Cajamarca, Peru. DNA was extracted and genotyping was performed by PCR-RFLP analysis of κ-CN gene. Genotype frequencies of 0.56, 0.27 and 0.17 for the AB, AA and BB genotypes were found, while the allele frequencies were 0.552 and 0.448 for alleles A and B respectively. It was concluded that the tested group had a low proportion of individuals with the desired BB genotype that favors the production of cheese.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
