Genetic Structure and Variability of H-FABP (HaeIII) Gene in Commercial Pig Breeds and Wild Boar in Slovakia
Keywords:
frequencies of alleles, genotype, H-FABP geneAbstract
The heart fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) has been decribed in several studies as a candidate gene for fat deposition (especially for IMF) in pigs. The genetic structure base on H-FABP (HaeIII) polymorphism was analysed in a population of 51 animals (Mangalica, Large White, Landrace and Wild Boar). Genetic polymorphism of gene was detected by PCR-RFLP (HaeIII). In the whole examined animal group the heterozygote genotype Dd was the most frequence (0.494)
