Genetic analysis of maternal and paternal lineages in Kabardian horses by uniparental molecular markers

Abstract: Studies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as well as the non-recombining part of the Y chromosome help to understand the origin and distribution of maternal and paternal lineages. The Kabardian horse from Northern Caucasia which is well-known for strength, stamina and endurance in distance riding has a large gap in its breeding documentation especially in the recent past. A 309 bp fragment of the mitochondrial D-loop (156 Kabardian horses) and six mutations in Y chromosome (49 Kabardian stallions), respectively, we… Show more

“…The traceability and characterization of female and male livestock lineages also offer a unique opportunity to conserve genetic resources and to promote and defend local breeds [19][20][21]. This approach is compelling for horses [9,22] and even more important for animals that are bred in semi-feral conditions when few genealogical data are available. In this perspective, centers for breed preservation (in situ ed ex situ) have been established for Giara and Sarcidano, where individuals genetically characterized for both parental lines and specifically selected are kept for the management and conservation of local genetic resources.…”

“…Few stallions, producing most desirable offspring, were often crossed with local autochthonous mares resulting in a high variation among the maternal lines but a limited variability in the paternal counterpart, both at macro-and micro-geographic levels. This breeding management is reflected in the uniparental markers acquired from female (mitochondrial DNA) and male (Y chromosome) ancestors [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. The striking low diversity displayed by the non-recombining region of the Y chromosome (NRY) reflects the small number of stallions that contributed to the establishment of current breeds [6,10].…”

“…It was reported that in Kabardey horse breed of North Caucasus, the highest haplogroup rate was observed to be 19% in G haplogroup, and this was followed by L, Q and B haplogroups, approximately 12% [32] . In this study, 24 out of 28 horse samples were collected from Erzurum, Kars and Ardahan provinces under the influence of Caucasus region and there was no G and B haplogroup detected; while L (5 horses, 17.86%) and Q (1 horse, 3.57%) haplogroups were detected.…”

“…It is reported that mtDNA represents ancestral genetic diversity in horse populations [4,5] . Studies conducted on native horse breeds reported 23 to 43 diff erent polymorphic regions, 2 to 164 haplotypes and 6 to 14 haplogroups in D-loop region of mtDNA [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] .…”
