Polymorphism in GHRH Gene and Its Association with Growth Traits in Tibetan Sheep

The objectives of this study were to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) gene and to evaluate their associations with growth traits in two main Tibetan sheep breeds. Through sequencing technology, four SNPs were identified in the 5’UTR region of GHRH gene. Both g.794A>C and g.1497C>A exhibited significant inflence on the growth-related traits in Tibetan sheep (P

Tibet Koyunlarında Büyüme Hormonunu Salgılatıcı Hormon (GHRH) Genindeki Polimorfizmlerin Büyüme Özellikleri İle İlişkisi

Bu çalışmanın amacı, büyüme hormonu salgılatıcı hormon (GHRH) genindeki tek nükleotid polimorfizmlerini (SNPs) tanımlamak ve bunların iki Tibet koyun ırkının büyüme özellikleri ile olan ilişkilerini değerlendirmektir. Sıralama teknolojisi ile, GHRH geninin 5’UTR bölgesinde dört SNP tanımlandı. Hem g.794A> C hem de g.1497C> A, Tibet koyunlarında büyümeyle ilgili özellikler üzerinde önemli bir etki gösterdi (P
