MX1 exon 13 polymorphisms in broiler breeder chickens and associations with commercial traits

The Mx1 gene in mice is induced by type I interferons and is the major determinant of resistance to influenza virus and related orthomyxoviruses. It has been previously shown that a SNP in exon 13 of the chicken MX1 gene determines differential antiviral activity of the protein. We evaluated this SNP and two additional SNPs in elite broiler lines by PCR amplification and sequence analysis. Associations between MX1 exon 13 SNPs and several traits of economic interest were evaluated. Significant associations were found between the SNP determining antiviral activity and mortality in one line and leg defects in another line.

Association of immune system gene polymorphisms with quantitative traits pathogenetically important for chronic virus hepatitis

The IL4 C(?590)T, IL4RA Ile50Val, and TNF G(?308)A polymorphisms were tested for association with quantitative traits important for chronic virus hepatitis, including the levels of IL4, IL10, IL12, TNF-α, fibronectin, collagenase, the proteinase inhibitor, macroglobulin, and free and protein-bound (PBO) oxyproline. Allele A of the TNF G(?308)A polymorphism was associated with a lower TNF-α production by mononuclear cells, a higher production of IL4 and IL12, and a lower PBO level. The genotype CT of the IL4 C(?590)T polymorphism was associated with a high PBO level.     

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the imprinted bovine insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor gene (IGF2R) are associated with body size traits in Irish Holstein-Friesian cattle

The regulation of the bioavailability of insulin‐like growth factors (IGFs) is critical for normal mammalian growth and development. The imprinted insulin‐like growth factor 2 receptor gene (IGF2R) encodes a transmembrane protein receptor that acts to sequester and degrade excess circulating insulin‐like growth factor 2 (IGF‐II) – a potent foetal mitogen – and is considered an important inhibitor of growth. Consequently, IGF2R may serve as a candidate gene underlying important growth‐ and body‐related quantitative traits in domestic mammalian livestock. In this study, we have quantified genotype–phenotype associations between three previously validated intronic bovine IGF2R single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (IGF2R:g.64614T>C, IGF2R:g.65037T>C and IGF2R:g.86262C>T) and a range of performance traits in 848 progeny‐tested Irish Holstein‐Friesian artificial insemination sires. Notably, all three polymorphisms analysed were associated (P ≤ 0.05) with at least one of a number of performance traits related to animal body size: angularity, body depth, chest width, rump width, and animal stature. In addition, the C‐to‐T transition at the IGF2R:g.65037T>C polymorphism was positively associated with cow carcass weight and angularity. Correction for multiple testing resulted in the retention of two genotype–phenotype associations (animal stature and rump width). None of the SNPs analysed were associated with any of the milk traits examined. Analysis of pairwise r² measures of linkage disequilibrium between all three assayed SNPs ranged between 0.41 and 0.79, suggesting that some of the observed SNP associations with performance may be independent. To our knowledge, this is one of the first studies demonstrating associations between IGF2R polymorphisms and growth‐ and body‐related traits in cattle. These results also support the increasing body of evidence that imprinted genes harbour polymorphisms that contribute to heritable variation in phenotypic traits in domestic livestock species.     

猪ACTA2基因的克隆、表达分析及其与生产性状的关联

为鉴定对猪生产性状有重要影响的新分子标记,文章采用电子克隆结合PCR方法获得了猪肌动蛋白α2(Actin alpha 2, ACTA2)基因编码区序列和部分基因组序列,建立了第2内含子C1554T替换的PCR-HinfⅠ- RFLP基因分型方法,在所检测的7个不同猪群中除大白和梅大群体外,其他群体中均是C等位基因频率高于T等位基因的频率。标记与性状关联分析发现ACTA2基因型与肩部背膘厚、臀部背膘厚、肥肉率、瘦肉率、股二头肌pH和肌内脂肪显著或极显著相关,TT基因型与CC基因型相比具有更高的瘦肉率以及更低的肥肉率和背膘厚。通过Real-time RT-PCR分析发现ACTA2在大白和梅山两个品种猪骨骼肌中的表达量都随着日龄的增加而降低,在各个阶段,梅山猪中的表达量都比大白猪中的表达量高。

Association of ADAM33 gene polymorphisms with asthma in Mongolian and Han groups in Inner Mongolia

Polymorphisms in the gene encoding for A disintegrin and metalloprotease 33 (ADAM33) are closely associated with the risk of bronchial asthma attacks in different populations. We collected blood samples from 248 asthma patients – 130 of the Han ethnic group and 118 of the Mongolian ethnic group – living in the Inner Mongolia region of China, and analyzed the single nuclear polymorphisms (SNPs) of the T1, T2 and V4 loci of the ADAM33 gene using PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism). In addition, we also tested 256 healthy controls (134 and 122 from the Han and Mongolian ethnic groups respectively) for the same SNPs. Three genotypes of the T1, T2 and V4 loci were predominantly detected: while polymorphisms in the T1 locus were significantly associated with asthma risk in both Mongolian and Han ethnicities (P?<?0.05, 1P?<?0.05), that in the V4 locus were relevant only in the Mongolian patients (P?<?0.05, 1P?>?0.05). In contrast, polymorphisms in the T2 locus showed no significant association with asthma risk in either ethnic group (P?>?0.05, 1P?>?0.05).
