“…Other results showed that 2B2B genotype is associated with better quality of semen but it depends on breed as well as it is not associated with litter size (Mackowski et al, 2004;Buske et al, 2006). Latest investigations showed that GPX5 gene variants are associated with number of functional teats in Italian Large White pigs (Dall'Olio et al, 2012).…”

The aim of the experiment was to detect polymorphism in the GPX5 gene and to determine associations between individual genotypes and selenium concentration in liver and kidney of wild boars from West Pomerania province in Poland. The polymorphism in GPX5 gene was detected using the PCR-RFLP method with specific primers and the restriction enzyme HinfI. Two different alleles of the GPX5 gene were identified -allele 1B (0.37) and 2B (0.63). The relationships between the GPX5 genotypes and concentrations of selenium in liver and kidney were analyzed, revealing statistically significant (P≤0.05) differences between wild boars carrying different GPX5 genotypes in both genders. Obtained results indicated that wild boars with the 2B2B genotype had the highest selenium concentration in livers and kidneys compared to 1B1B and 1B2B animals and these differences were statistically significant (P≤0.05).

“…Association analyses of the GPX5 gene polymorphism with production and reproduction traits are presented in Table 1 and 2. The results showed that least square mean (LSM) values for the genotype AA (10.67±0.16) demonstrated significantly paternal (sperm quality) rather than maternal fertility in sows (Kmiec et al, 2007;Dall'Olio et al, 2012;Rui-lan et al, 2015).…”

Aim: To detect genetic variants of GPX5 gene and their associations with reproductive and productive traits in the Lumsniang (Hampshire x Niang Megha) pigs. Methodology: In this study, a total of 87 Lumsniang pigs were selected for collecting blood samples (3-5 ml) from Nucleus Pig Breeding Farm of ICAR Research Complex for North Eastern Hilly region, Umiam, Meghalaya. Genomic DNA was extracted from the blood leukocytes using the Qiagen DNeasy Blood and tissue kits and diluted to working concentration (50 ng μl-1) and stored at -20°C, which were used as templates for association of GPX5 variants with polymerase chain reaction. The data for reproductive and productive traits were recorded from all the animals taken in this study. The reproductive and productive traits were analyzed using a general linear model (GLM) procedure of SPSS Version 16.0. Results: Polymorphisms at Intron 1 of the GPX5 gene was determined by PCR-RFLP with HinfI restriction enzyme and DNA sequencing analyses. Two alleles and three genotypes were identified by HinfI digestion of the GPX5 gene. In the SNP-HinfI (g.1896A>G) locus, significant associations were found between GPX5 genotypes and litter size at birth. The genotype AA demonstrated significantly (P<0.05) superior litter size at birth as compared to AG and GG genotypes at the SNP-HinfI locus in Lumsniang pig. Interpretation: The study reported probable associations of GPX5 variants with reproduction and production traits in Lumsniang pig. The genotype AA at locus SNP-HinfI improved the litter size at birth in the studied population. The GPX5 gene may be considered as a DNA marker for marker-assisted selection after validation in a large pig population.
