Pakistani river buffalo is classified in five breeds out of which Kundi buffalo has been least documented. This study is designed to find single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exonic and in-tronic regions of PRKAG3 (AMP-activated, Gamma3 non-catalytic subunit) gene in the Kundi buf-falo. The PRKAG3 gene of 95 animals each from Kundi and Nili-Ravi were sequenced for identifica-tion of novel SNPs. Comparing with the Nili Ravi breed of buffalo PRKAG3 gene, six SNP sites were identified in the Kundi buffalo. The novel SNPs found in this work can function as a genomic indicator for genetic-phenotypic relationship of PRKAG3 gene with milk and meat production in buffalo. This is the first report of SNPs in PRKAG3 gene of Kundi Buffalo.

Abstract The present study aimed to investigate the presence of polymorphisms at four known genes controlling ovine prolificacy i.e. BMP15, GDF9, BMPR1B and B4GALNT2 in a sample of 115 Iranian Mehraban ewes and their association with litter size (LS) and lambs’ birth weight (BW) traits. Using Sanger sequencing of exons and polymorphism specific genotyping, ten SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) were observed in only two genes, GDF9 and BMPR1B. Seven SNPs were found in the GDF9 gene on the chromosome 5. Among them, six were already described in the coding sequence, and a new one (g.41840985C>T) was found in the 3’UTR. In the BMPR1B gene on the chromosome 6, three novel SNPs were detected in the exon 7 (g.29382184G>A; g.29382337G>A and g.29382340G>A). Allelic frequencies were established for six SNPs among the ten identified and they were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A significant association was found between the novel SNPs found in the exon 7 of BMPR1B and LS. Present results indicate the potential role of the BMPR1B locus in controlling prolificacy of Mehraban sheep and provide genetic markers for further exploitation in selection to improve reproductive efficiency.
