“…In some previous studies (Auer and Bell 1981;O'Brien 1980;O'Brien et al 1980;Weghe et al 1981;Allan et al 1981), the GPI locus was observed to be polymorphic. Hence the results of the present study are in accordance with earlier research.…”

“…The erythrocytes were then washed three times with 0.9% saline and hemolyzed by adding an equal volume of distilled water, and the hemolysate was stored at -20°C prior to analysis. Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis was performed in accordance with standard methods (Altunok et al 1999;Auer and Bell 1981;Grunbaum 1981;Harris and Hopkinson 1976;Hirota et al 1995;Manchenko 2003;Weghe et al 1981), with some minor modifications ( Table 2). The enzyme systems studied were carbonic anhydrase 1 (CA 1 ), phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malic enzyme (ME), glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI, PHI, and PGI), esterase D (ESD), and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT, AST).…”

“…Although there has been considerable research on the genetic diversity of cats done by means of enzyme electrophoresis (Allan et al 1981;Auer and Bell 1981;Hirota et al 1995;Kohn and Tamarin 1973;O'Brien 1980;Thuline et al 1967;Weghe et al 1981), no protein electrophoresis study, prior to the present one, had been done on Van cats. Moreover, very little is known about Van cats (Altunok et al 2007;Arikan et al 2003;Yüksek et al 2005).…”

Genetic Structure and Variation of Van Cats

To determine the genetic structure and variation of Van cats and some other cats, seven enzyme loci were examined using horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. ME bands were observed for the first time in cats. For the enzyme loci CA ( 1 ), SOD, GPI, and GOT, neither the individual Van cats nor the specimens of other cat species exhibited any variation. These enzymes presented identical bands, all of which were homozygous. With respect to the PGD, ME, and ESD loci, however, genetic variation was observed in all of the cats. Hence, three of the seven gene-enzyme systems (43%) were polymorphic with two alleles, contributing to an estimate of average heterozygosity of 0.33-0.49 for the Van cats. PGD was the most discriminatory among the three polymorphic loci. The phylogenetic tree indicated that the Van, Persian, Turkish Angora, and Turkish Tekir cats are distinct from Siamese and Bombay cats.

The frequencies of seven mutant genes of the domestic cat have been estimated by sampling the population of greater London, specific areas of the capital and adjoining counties. An attempt was made to diversify the method of sampling by concentrating upon certain categories of cats. In addition to the usual sightings of cats in streets and open spaces, surveys were made of cats attending a veterinary clinic, those staying at a boarding cattery, those exhibited in the household pet classes at a cat show and those in rescue centres. Although there are inconsistencies, the general impression from frequencies in present and earlier observations is that the lighter phenotypes (mackerel tabby, blue dilution and orange) are favoured by human preference, as opposed to the darker phenotypes (blotched tabby, black and non-orange). Reasons are discussed for thinking that, while human preference may be a factor in the evolution of the feline polymorphism, it is not the fundamental cause.
