Molecular characterization and an 80-bp indel polymorphism within the prolactin receptor (PRLR) gene and its associations with chicken growth and carcass traits.


ABSTRACT: The prolactin receptor (PRLR), a type I cytokine receptor, must bind prolactin (PRL) to act on target cells to mediate various physiological functions, including reproduction and lactation. This study identified an 80-bp insertion/deletion (indel) polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the chicken PRLR gene in 3736 individuals from 15 breeds and analyzed its associations with growth and carcass traits in an F2 resource population. The results of the association analysis indicated that the 80-bp indel polymorphism was significantly (P?P?
