Title

(EN) USE SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHSM IN THE CODING REGION OF THE PORCINE LEPTIN RECEPTOR GENE TO ENHANCE PORK PRODUCTION
(FR) UTILISATION DE POLYMORPHISME NUCLEOTIDIQUE UNIQUE DANS LA REGION DE CODAGE DU GENE DE RECEPTEUR DE LEPTINE PORCIN PERMETTANT D'AUGMENTER LA PRODUCTION EN ELEVAGE PORCIN

Abstract:

(EN)The instant invention is drawn to the identification and use of information regarding one or more porcine leptin receptor (pLEPR) gene polymorphisms as a marker to identify animals to serve as breeding stock for enhanced pork production. One particular polymorphism of pLEPR gene results in either a methionine or a threonine amino acid residue at position 69 of the protein that the pLEPR genes encodes. The pLEPR gene is located on porcine chromosone 6 and have been shown to be associated with determination of daily feed intake, among other factors.
(FR)L'invention concerne l'identification et l'utilisation d'information concernant un ou plusieurs polymorphismes de gène du récepteur de leptine porcin (pLEPR) comme marqueurs pour identifier les animaux reproducteurs, afin d'augmenter la production en élevage porcin. Un polymorphisme particulier de ce gène pLEPR donne un résidu d'acide aminé de méthionine ou de thréonine en position 69 de la protéine, que ledit gène code. Le gène pLEPR se trouve sur le chromosome porcin 6 et on en a identifié l'incidence sur la détermination de la ration de lait quotidienne, entre autres facteurs.
