چکیده مقاله:

Polymorphisms in 5’-flanking region of prolactin (PRL), exon 2 and exon 5 of prolactin receptor (PRLR) genesand its association with growth and egg traits were examined in breeder hens of Mazandaran native fowlsbreeding station. A single nucleotide polymorphism at site C-2402T and a 24 bp nucleotide sequence insertionat situation -382 in 5’-flanking regions of PRL gene were identified. PCR amplification together withRestriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and direct agarose gel electrophoresis were used to identify different genotypes at C-2402T and a 24 bp indel (insertion-deletion) at the site of -358 of PRL gene, respectively. Nucleotide substitution of C to T and a 24 nucleotides insertion (I) or deletion (D) in promoterregion of PRL gene resulted in three genotypes with the frequency of CC (0.10), CT (0.84), TT (0.06)and II (0.39), ID (0.40), DD (0.21), respectively. There were no heterozygous females and only two genotypes A/A (0.54), B/B (0.46) and AA (0.72), BB (0.28) were identified in exon 2 and exon 5 of PRLR geneusing PCR-Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and PCR-RFLP analyses, respectively. Anovel mutation consists of a BamHI restriction site found in the exon 5 of PRLR gene. The results showedsignificant association between SNP in exon 2 with body weight at hatch, age at sexual maturity, andbetween SNP in exon 5 and egg number. Individuals with AA genotype produced higher eggs than BB genotype (P<0.05). These results showed that the PRLR locus can be considered as a major gene that mayinfluence the production traits in chicken.

Association of polymorphisms for prolactin and prolactin receptor genes with broody traits in chickens.

Prolactin (PRL) is generally accepted as crucial to the onset and maintenance of broodiness in avian species. The prolactin receptor (PRLR) plays an important role in the PRL signal transduction cascade. Two candidate genes, PRL and PRLR, were screened for polymorphisms in the chicken, and their genetic effects on broodiness were evaluated. Pedigreed hens (n = 155) of the Blue-shell chicken, a ...

Association of Prolactin Gene Variants with Milk Production Traits in Russian Red Pied Cattle

A total of 125 Russian Red Pied cows were genotyped for the prolactim-related gene. The PRL-RsaI genotypes were analysed using the Polymerase chain reaction -restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. In this breed, the frequencies of alleles were as follows;  A= 0.794 and B= 0.206. The frequencies of AA, AB and BB genotypes were 0.598, 0.392 and 0.01; respectively. Results sho...

Association of the melanocortin-3(MC3R) receptor gene with growth and reproductive traits in Mazandaran indigenous chicken

Melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) plays an important role in the central control of energy homeostasis, and several functional polymorphisms of this gene have been detected. We have studied MC3R as a candidate gene responsible for variation in economically important traits in chicken. To determine the association between MC3R polymorphism and phenotypic variation, a total of 190 individuals from b...
