“…A similar frequency of the T allele (0.86) was observed by Chinese researchers in Beijing black sows [12]. The genotyping of commercial sows in Greece revealed that none had the CC genotype, and the frequency of the TC genotype was 0.21 [3]. Wu et al [13] reported a new polymorphism, a result of nonsense mutation in the exon region.…”

“…The highest total number of piglets born and born alive in TT sows, the lowest in CC sows, and intermediate in TC sows. Similarly Marantidis et al [3] confi rmed the positive effect of the allele T on the number of piglets born by TT sows, particularly between the second and fi fth parity. Wang et al [11], analyzed relations between the polymorphism of the BF locus and the litter size, showed different results than in our study and reports by Buske et al [2].…”

“…Many genes associated with litter size and other reproductive traits have been mapped on the porcine chromosomes. However, limited information on this fi eld in conjunction with the fact that the results are inconsistent, leads to the need of further investigation in this particular area [3]. Properdin, otherwise known as Factor P (or BF), plays an important role in natural immune processes, as one of the factors of non-specifi c immune response.…”

“…The BF gene plays an important role in uterine epithelium growth [8] as well as in the formation of litter size in mice in interaction with other genes [9]. In studies carried out on crossbred sows a relation was revealed between the BF genotype and the number of born piglets [2,3].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the potential relationship between variants of the BF gene and litter size in Polish Landrace x Polish Large White sows. To identify polymorphism within the BF gene, the PCR-RFLP method was applied, using specifi c primers and the SmaI enzyme. The researchers identifi ed the presence of two alleles, T and C, with frequencies: 0.68 and 0.32, giving three genotypes with frequencies: 0.49, 0.37 and 0.14, respectively for TT, TC and CC. Analysis of relationships between the various genotypes of the BF gene and selected reproductive traits showed signifi cant differences. Sows with TT genotype in the BF locus, gave birth to signifi cantly more live piglets in the fi rst litter (10.24) compared with sows with the CC genotype (7.13).

ABSTRACT. The nuclear receptor subfamily 4, group A, member 1 (NR4A1) and guanine nucleotide binding protein beta polypeptide 2 like-1 (GNB2L1) genes are expressed during the ovulatory process and in early pregnancy in pigs. The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of NR4A1 and GNB2L1 gene variants on reproductive traits in commercial pig breeds. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of NR4A1 and GNB2L1 were identified by a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Analysis of the association of these two SNPs with reproductive traits was evaluated in 515 commercial sows (273 Large White and 242 Landrace). The SNP NR4A1 g.3952A>G showed a significant association with the total number of piglets born, the number of piglets born alive, the number of piglets weaned alive, and the litter weight at weaning in the Landrace sows (P < 0.05). A significant association of SNP GNB2L1 g.2373T>C with the litter weight at birth was observed in the Large White 16277 Effects of NR4A1 and GNB2L1 genes on reproductive traits ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 14 (4): 16276-16284 (2015) sows (P < 0.05). These results indicate that the porcine NR4A1 and GNB2L1 can be used as candidate genes for improvement of litter size traits in pigs.
