In the article, the authors assess the prospect of using genetic polymorphisms to predict resistance to diseases and a possible enlarge in chicken production level. Using the PCR-RFLP method, we analyzed the SNP frequencies in the genes of myostatin (MSTN, or GDF-8), proopiomelanocortin (POMC), and dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) in chickens of the pure lines of the Smena-8 broiler hybreed – B6, B7m / o (slow-feathering), B7b / o (fast-fledging) FSBI "Breeding and Genetic Center “Smena”. The relationship between the studied single nucleotide polymorphisms and the productive traits of chickens was determined. The assessment of the possibilities of using polymorphisms to increase the resistance and productivity of linear birds.

Abstract. An association between intelligence at age 7 and a set of five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has been identified and replicated. We used this composite SNP set to investigate whether the associations differ between boys and girls for general cognitive ability at ages 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, and 10 years. In a longitudinal community sample of British twins aged 2-10 (n > 4,000 individuals), we found that the SNP set is more strongly associated with intelligence in males than in females at ages 7, 9, and 10 and the difference is significant at 10. If this finding replicates in other studies, these results will constitute the first evidence of the same autosomal genes acting differently on intelligence in the two sexes.
