초록

본 연구는 축산과학원에서 보유중인 듀록 품종내에서 MC4R 유전자의 SNP 발현 특성과 육종가에 의한 선발 후 MC4R 유전자 빈도의 변화 및 경제형질에 대한 유전자형간 육종가의 차이를 구명하고자 수행하였다. 1999년부터 2005년까지 검정된 검정성적을 바탕으로 일당증체량, 등지방두께, 90kg 도달일령 및 사료요구율에 대하여 유전력과 유전상관 및 육종가를 추정하였으며, 2003년과 2004년에 출생한 660두에 대한 혈액을 채취하여 MC4R 유전자에 대한 유전자형 및 대립유전자 분석을 실시하였다. 또한 육종가에 의한 선발 후 유전자의 빈도변화를 세대별 그리고 선발군 및 도태군에 대하여 분석하였으며, 육종가의 분석결과를 이용하여 MC4R의 유전자형 효과를 보았다. 분석결과 육종가를 근거하여 선발한 MC4R 유전자형은 세대당 그리고 선발군과 도태군에서 차이를 보였으며, 각 형질별 육종가의 분산분석결과 사료요구율을 제외한 기타 경제형질에서 유의적으로 MC4R 유전자의 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. MC4R 유전자의 효과에 대한 보고는 상이한 부분도 있지만 자체 축군에 대한 다형성 분석 및 경제형질과의 연관성 분석에 의하여 축군 및 개량하고자 하는 경제형질에 따라 표지 유전인자로 활용하여 선발반응 및 정확도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The melanocortin-4 receptor(MC4R) is virtually expressed in all brain regions and plays an important role in energy homeostasis in mammals. MC4R has been intensively studied as a trait gene controlling economically important traits, such as growth and feed conversion, etc. Six hundreds and sixty Duroc pigs were genotyped for the MC4R locus and analyzed their relationships with breeding values for average daily gain(ADG), backfat thickness(BF), days to 90kg(D90) and feed conversion(FC). The estimated genotype frequencies for the all Duroc pigs were: 30.8%, 45.2%, 24.1% for AA, AB and BB genotypes, respectively. The mutant A allele was significantly associated with ADG, D90 and BF whereas no significant relationship was found with FC. The change of gene frequencies by generation was shown in both selected and culled groups. These results indicate that the MC4R polymorphism could be integrated in the present selection program to realize a marker-assisted selection for the growth traits of the Duroc population.
