“…Knorr et al (1997) demonstrated significant association of GH genotypes (polymorphism: M17704.1: g.316G>A) with eight carcass fatness traits. Wang et al (2003) showed an association of GH gene polymorphism (ApaI restriction site) with carcass meat content in Yorkshire pigs. In the present study, daily body weight gain was influenced by GH polymorphism (M17704.1: g.316G>A) with the highest value in the CC genotype pigs.…”

“…Paszek et al (1999) found a QTL (SW37-SW467, 58-75 cM) affected the average daily gain between 35-65 kg, in our study, we did not find IGFBP-4 associated with growth rate at different growth stages, but we found that IGFBP-4 associated with body length and other traits such as fore-body weight, bone weight and legs weight, and these traits can reflect the growth status. Meanwhile, GH and IGF1R genes were mapped on SSC12, and many studies found that these two genes affected porcine growth and development (Wang et al, 2003;Wang et al, 2006), so it is important to study the effect of SSC12 on porcine growth and development.…”

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4 (IGFBP-4) is a member of the IGF super family, and regulates the action of IGFs. The polymorphism of porcine IGFBP-4 gene in 17 pig breeds (total n = 570) was detected by PCR-SSCP, and alleles A and B were detected. In these pig breeds, it was found that exotic pig breeds carried high frequencies of allele A, while Chinese native pig breeds carried high frequencies of allele B. The role of porcine IGFBP-4 was investigated in 172 F2 offspring of a Lantang×Lantang population. Forty eight growth traits were recorded for analyzing the association between IGFBP-4 gene polymorphism and quantitative performance traits. In this resource family, pigs with AA genotype had higher fore-body weight, bone weight of mid-body, bone weight of rear-body, fore-leg weight and rear-leg weight than those pigs with BB genotype (p<0.05); while pigs which carried BB genotype had higher back-fat thickness at C point and lard weight than those pigs with AA genotype (p<0.05); pigs with AA genotype had higher body weight than those with BB genotype; for meat quality traits, pigs with AA genotype had higher meat color than those of BB genotype (p<0.01), and pigs with BB genotype had higher marbling than those of AA and AB genotypes (p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively).Based on these results, it is necessary to do more studies on IGFBP-4 before using the IGFBP-4 locus for the application of marker-assisted selection programs.

“…Furthermore, the GH gene is highly polymorphic in a variety of livestock animals. Many polymorphisms have been identified in the GH gene of pig (WENJUN et al 2003), bovids (LUCY et al 1993), goat (MALVEIRO et al 2001) and poultry (SHENG-HAI et al 2007;GHELGHACHI et al 2013;ZHANG et al 2014). In ducks, the effect of GH gene polymorphism on important economic traits has been noted (WU et al 2012;.…”

MAZUROWSKI A., FRIESKE A., KOKOSZYÑSKI D., MROCZKOWSKI S., BERNACKI Z., WILKANOWSKA A. 2015. Examination of growth hormone (GH) gene polymorphism and its association with body weight and selected body dimensions in ducks. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 63: 43-50.The main objective of the study was to assess the polymorphism in intron 2 of the GH gene and its association with some morphological traits (body weight-BW, length of trunk with neck-LTN, length of trunk-LT, chest girth-CG, length of breast bone-LBB, length of shank-LS). Polymorphism in intron 2 of the GH gene was evaluated for four duck populations (Pekin ducks AF51, Muscovy ducks from a CK and CRAMMLCFF mother and Mulard ducks). Genetic polymorphism was determined with the PCR-RFLP method using the BsmFI restriction enzyme. In the studied duck sample two alleles (GH + and GH 6 ) and three genotypes (GH/TT, GH/CT, GH/CC) were found at locus GH/BsmFI. In both groups of Muscovies and in Mulards the dominant allele was GH 6 . On the contrary in Pekin ducks AF51, the frequency of both alleles was found to be similar. The most frequent genotype in the examined ducks was GH/TT. In Pekin ducks AF51 three genotypes were observed, while in Mulard ducks and in male Muscovy ducks from a mother marked as CK, two genotypes (GH/TT and GH/CT) were identified. Muscovy duck females from a CK mother and all males and females of Muscovy duck from a CRAMMLCFF mother were monomorphic with only the GH/TT genotype detected. The results showed that males of Pekin duck AF51 with the GH/TT genotype were characterized by higher (P<0.01) BW value than those with the GH/CC and GH/CT genotype. In females of Pekin ducks AF51, this same trend was observed; individuals with GH/TT genotype were superior (P<0.05 and P<0.01) to birds with two other detected genotypes in respect to BW, CG, LBB and LS. In the case of Mulards, ducks with the GH/TT genotype were distinguished by higher values of all evaluated traits compared to ducks with GH/CT and GH/CC genotypes, however most of the recorded differences were not significant. The only trait markedly impacted (P<0.05) by the polymorphism of the GH gene intron 2 was the LS value in males.
