Abstract:A population genetic comparison between mink populations with tame and aggressive behavior was performed. Six allotypes of the Lpm system, the AIM alpha macroglobulin, and two allotypes of the Ld system, a homologue of APOB low density lipoprotein, were analyzed. The pairwise compared groups dif fered in markers Lpml, Lpm3, Lpm5, and Lpm10. Alleles with allotypes Lpml and Lpm3 were significantly associated with aggressive behavior, whereas allele Lpm non 10 was associated tame behavior. No statistically signif… Show more
