Genetic variation at RYR1, IGF2, FUT1, MUC13, and KPL2 mutations affecting production traits in Chinese commercial pig breeds

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The identification of causative mutations affecting economically important traits has benefited the worldwide pig industry. We investigated the genetic variation at five loci including RYR1, IGF2, FUT1, MUC13, and KPL2 affecting traits related to production, reproduction, and disease resistance in a sample of 8009 pigs representing 3 commercial breeds (Duroc, Landrace, and Large White) from 28 farms in China. We found that all breeds, especially Duroc pigs, have high frequencies of favourable alleles … Show more

“…The studies of pig allele pool for IGF2 revealed differences in the distribution of allele and genotype frequencies in the animals depending on the specialization and breeding character. Maximum A allele frequencies (desirable from the point of view of development of meat and fattening traits) were observed in pigs of meat breeds (Body, Duroc, Pietrain) and in the terminal cross characterized by the maximum selection intensity for the above traits, which is consistent with the results of foreign authors [13,[18][19][20]. In mother breed pigs (Large White, Landrace) and the ones produced by improving local breeds with meat breeds (Belorussian meat, Estonian bacon), intermediate A allele frequencies have been recorded.…”

“…As a consequence, the effects of the variability at the LEP gene on meat quality and carcase traits should be also analysed in the NL pig population. Table 3 shows the comparison between the allele frequencies calculated according to the typing results of the NL pig and the data available in literature for the cosmopolitan (Pietrain, Duroc, Large White and Landrace) breeds (Stratil et al 1997;Kennes et al 2001;Kim et al 2005a;Piorkowska et al 2010;Aslan et al 2012;Burgos et al 2012;Davoli et al 2012;Ruan et al 2013;Fan et al 2013;Hirose et al 2014;Ilie et al 2014). As a whole, the average heterozygosity of the NL pig population, at the 12 considered loci, showed a very low value of 0.157.…”

“…Genomic DNA was extracted from muscle samples using GeneMATRIX Tissue DNA Purification Kit (EURx, Poland). The RYR1 polymorphism was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method (PCR-RFLP) using following primer sequences: RYR1_F 5'-TCCAGTTTGCCACAGGTCCTACCA-3'; RYR1_R-5'-ATTCACCGGAGTGGAGTCTCTGAG-3' (Ruan et al 2013). Identification of the stress sensitivity gene (RYR1) revealed the occurrence of individuals with heterozygous genotype (CT) only in the group of fatteners derived from Pulawska breed boars (n = 2).…”
