Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) population as reservoirs for deleterious mutations in the RYR1 gene associated with Porcine Stress Syndrome

Porcine Stress Syndrome (PSS) is a disorder codified by the ryanodine receptor 1 gene (RYR1) and affects both animal welfare quality of meat product. As consequence, individuals with this syndrome generate great worldwide economic losses in porcine industry. In Argentina, Buenos Aires Province most involved on activity, productions are to be open field higher frequency pigs diverse pathologies. On other hand, biggest oldest wild population located Atlantic coast Province, which presents continuous bidirectional flow productive areas nearby. The aim study detect presence RYR1 deleterious allele from Aires, order evaluate its possible role as genetic reservoir for said allele. For purpose, 106 28 sites were studied, finding 6.6% carrier individuals, indicating that not free This constitutes first analysis allele, associated PSS being one few studies report it suggesting populations disease.
