Association of a polymorphism in exon 3 of the IGF1R gene with growth, body size, slaughter and meat quality traits in Colored Polish Merino sheep
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Grochowska, E.; Lisiak, D.; Akram, M. Z.; Adeniyi, O. O.; Luehken, G.; Borys, B.
This study aimed to genotype the polymorphism (c.654G > A) in the exon 3 of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor gene (IGF1R) and to analyze its association with growth, body size, slaughter and meat quality traits in Colored Polish Merino sheep. In total, 67 traits were analyzed. The IGF1R polymorphism was genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method. The MIXED procedure of the SAS software was used to assess the genotypic effects of the polymorphism (c.654G > A) on production traits of interest. The IGF1R c.654G > A genotypes were found to have a significant effect on the average daily gain between the 56th and 78th day of life, cold carcass, leg part, leg cut, fore shank, and kidney weights, as well as eye of loin depth, intramuscular fat content, and water-holding capacity of meat. The results suggest that the studied polymorphism may provide useful information for marker-assisted selection for increased meat performance in Colored Polish Merino sheep.
