MspI Allelic Pattern of Bovine Growth Hormone Gene in Indian Zebu Cattle (Bos indicus) Breeds

Abstract: The MspI allelic variation in intron III of the bovine growth hormone (bGH) gene was explored using PCR-RFLP in 750 animals belonging to 17 well-recognized breeds of Indian zebu cattle (Bos indicus) reared in different geographic locations of the country. Restriction digestion analysis of a 329-bp PCR fragment of the bGH intron III region with MspI restriction enzyme revealed two alleles (MspI- and MspI+) and two genotypes (-/- and +/-) across the 17 cattle breeds studied. The allelic frequency varied from 0.6… Show more

“…The development in molecular genetic techniques has made it possible to identify differences between individuals at the DNA level. Recently, genetic polymorphisms at candidate genes affecting economic traits have stimulated substantial research interest because of their impending utilization as an aid to genetic selection and to demarcate evolutionary relationships in different livestock breeds (Sodhi et al, 2007). Association of several polymorphic sites (SNPs) in different candidate genes with economic traits has been much investigated in different animal species.…”

“…Variants of alleles in GH locus did not change genetic equilibrium in that population (Table 2). Previous study, Sodhi et al (2007) reported that frequency of MspI-in Indian cattle breeds was higher than MspI+ in taurine breeds (Bos taurus) from northern Eroupe, Mediteranean countries, and America. Frequencies of MspI-alleles were 0.94; 0.90; 0.88; 0.90 and 0.80 for Sahiwal, Tharparkar, Gir, Ongole and Hariana, respectively.…”
