Polymorphism of prolactin and growth hormone genes in chicken lines of ukrainian selection

Kulibaba R.O., Podstreshnyi O.P.

SUUMARY. Polymorphism of prolactin and growth hormone genes in two Ukrainian breeding chicken lines of meat-laying (G-2) and eggs performance (A) direction of productivity was studied. Polymorphism of the 24 bp insertion/deletion in the promoter region of prolactin gene, SNP in the –2402 position of the prolactin gene, the first intron of the growth hormone gene was investigated. Frequencies of I and D alleles in line G-2 and line A were 0,135, 0,865 and 0,730, 0,270; frequencies of C and T alleles – 0,155, 0,845 and 0,745, 0,255; frequencies of A, B and C alleles – 0,435, 0,395, 0,170 and 0,670, 0,160, 0,170 respectively. The results indicate that high frequency of I, C and A alleles in line A corresponds to the egg performance direction.
