IGF-1 Gene Polymorphism and Weight-Related Analysis

IGF-1 Gene Polymorphism and Weight-Related Analysis

study of igf-1 gene polymorphism and its association with growth related traits in sistani cattle

insulin-like growth factor-i (igf-1) is a peptide hormone which is similar in molecular structure to insulin and it is located on chromosome 5 in cattle. since the igf-1 plays an important role in the growth and development of multiple tissues, the purpose of current study was to identify the igf-1 gene polymorphism in sistani beef cattle. a total of 53 sistani beef cattle (one year) were rando...

association between polymorphism igf-i gene exon 1 and growth traits in moghani sheep

in this study, 100 moghani sheep from breeding station located in jaafarabad, moghan were genotyped for exon 1 of igf-i gene, using pcr-sscp. different band patterns were obtained in this site gene that was studied. based on sscp patterns, three genotypes bc, bd and bb obtained with frequencies of 65%, 26% and 9%, respectively. the genotype frequencies had a significant deviation from hwe. in a...

Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis of exons 3 and 4 of IGF-1 gene in pigs.

The IGF-1 gene has been implicated as a candidate gene for the regulation of pig growth traits. We analyzed exons 3 and 4 of IGF-1 gene polymorphisms of the Banna mini-pig (28), the Tibetan mini-pig (30), the Junmu pig (55), and L. Yorkshire species (50) using PCR-SSCP. Three genotypes in exon 3 and 6 genotypes in exon 4 were observed, among which, one single nucleotide polymorphism, G201A, on ...

Is human dectin-1 Y238X gene polymorphism related to susceptibility to recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis?

Background and Purpose: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a frequent disease affecting approximately more than %75 of all childbearing women at least once in their lifetime by overgrowth of opportunistic Candida species. Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is common in otherwise healthy individuals. Several risk factors were reported to contribute to RVVC susceptibility. A polymorphism in Decti...
