Association of a Cac8I polymorphism in the IGF1 gene with growth traits in Indian goats
The Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1) gene is a member of somatotropic axis and plays a key role in proliferation of cells, mitosis, myogenesis, meiosis, differentiation in foetal development and post natal growth. The objectives of this study were to verify the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SN...

description | The Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1) gene is a member of somatotropic axis and plays a key role in proliferation of cells, mitosis, myogenesis, meiosis, differentiation in foetal development and post natal growth. The objectives of this study were to verify the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IGF1 gene and their association with growth traits in two indigenous native goat genetic groups of Kerala, viz., Malabari and Attappady Black. A total of 277 goats were genotyped using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) using the restriction enzyme Cac8I. One SNP, A224G was detected in the 5′ non-coding region of the IGF1 gene, and accordingly two genotypes were revealed, GG and AG. This SNP was significantly associated with growth traits in Attappady Black goats, which is maintained as meat breed in Kerala. Results from this study demonstrated higher performance of GG animals for growth traits. The association of IGF1 gene with these traits emphasizes the importance of caprine IGF1 as a candidate gene for growth traits in goat breeding. |
