Objective: This study was aimed to identify IGF-1, LEP and PRLR polymorphisms by PCR-RFLP method in Saanen goats. Material and Methods:In the study, nasal samples were collected from 72 Saanen goats via swabs and DNA was extracted. Polymorphisms of IGF-1, LEP and PRLR were determined by PCR amplification followed by RFLP method using restriction enzymes Cac8I, NmuCI and Hin1II, respectively.Results: LEP/NmuCI produced three genotypes as TT, TC and CC with frequencies 90.3, 6.9 and 2.8%, respectively and two alleles (T=93.8%, C=6.2%). The frequencies of genotype for PRLR gene were CC (90.3%), CT (5.5%) and TT (4.2%) and allele frequencies were C (93.1%) and T (6.9%). The IGF-1/Cac8I locus was monomorphic in Saanen goat population. Conclusion:The present results may be useful for future studies conducted on goat genome with respect to IGF-1, LEP and PRLR genes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
