Abstract

In this study, calpastatin (CAST) gene polimorphism was investigated in 7 native sheep breeds reared in Turkey by using PCR-RFLP method. The frequencies of M and N alleles of CAST gene in Kangal (n= 31), Awassi (n= 26), Güney Karaman (n= 23), Akkaraman (n= 21), Morkaraman (n= 34), Karayaka (n= 33), and Karakas (n= 22) sheep breeds were determined as 0.92-0.08, 0.59-0.41, 0.67-0.33, 0.69-0.31, 0.87-0.13, 0.86-0.14, 0.89-0.11 respectively. According to chi-square test, all the other populations were consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, whereas Morkaraman, İvesi and Karayaka populations showed significant (P<0.05) deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the CAST gene.

Türkiye’de Yetiştirilen Bazı Yerli Koyun Irklarında Kalpastatin (CAST) Geni Polimorfizminin PCR-RFLP Yöntemiyle Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de yetiştirilen 7 yerli koyun ırkında kalpastatin (CAST) gen polimorfizmi PCR-RFLP metodu kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. CAST geninin M ve N allelleri frekansları; Kangal (n= 31), İvesi (n= 26), Güney Karaman(n= 23), Akkaraman (n= 21), Morkaraman (n= 34), Karayaka (n= 33) ve Karakaş (n= 22) koyun ırklarında sırasıyla 0.92-0.08, 0.59-0.41, 0.67-0.33, 0.69-0.31, 0.87-0.13, 0.86-0.14, 0.89-0.11 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ki-kare testi CAST geni bakımından Morkaraman, İvesi ve Karayaka populasyonlarının Hardy-Weinberg dengesinden önemli düzeyde (P<0.05)saptığını, diğer populasyonların ise Hardy-Weinberg dengesinde olduğunu göstermiştir.
