Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the equine chromosomes (ECA) 3 for the body conformations of 12 month of age in Jeju crossbred (Jeju horses ${\times}$ Thoroughbred). A total of 199 Jeju crossbred horse samples were obtained from the National Institute of Subtropical Livestock Research Institute for this study. To correctly estimate the body conformations, we measured thirteen elements relevant to the body conformation such as body weight, wither height, body length for all the 199 horses at 12 month of age. Furthermore, all the horses were genotyped using four SNPs including the BIEC2-808466, BIEC2-808543, BIEC2-808967, BIEC2-809370, of which genomic coordinates range approximately from 105.1Mbp to 110 Mbp in the ECA3. For the phenotypic data sets, the average body weight was $193.7{\pm}24.5kg$ and the height was $124.5{\pm}4.0cm$. As for the genotypic data, the miner allele frequencies of the SNPs were shown to be varied from 0.01 to 0.291. Using the phenotypic and genotypic data sets, analysis of covariance was performed to find any association between those SNP genotypes and body conformations, using year of birth, month of birth, sex, and parity as the covariance components. The result showed that alternative genotypes in the BIEC2-808967 and BIEC2-809370 SNPs were significantly associated with the body length (P<0.05) and the wither height (P<0.05) respectively in the Jeju crossbred horses. Therefore, it is estimated that there are significant associations in the body conformation of 12 month of age of Jeju crossbred for those two SNPs used in this study.

본 연구는 Jeju crossbred(제주마${\times}$더러브렛) 12개월령 체형 형질에 대한 말의 3번 염색체 단일염기변이 효과를 분석하기 위해 수행하였다. 본 연구의 공시축은 국립축산과학원 난지축산연구소에서 육성 중인 Jeju crossbred 육성마 199 두를 이용하였다. 12개월령 육성마 체형은 체중, 체고, 체장, 흉폭 등 13종을 측정하였다. 말의 3번 염색체 105.1Mbp~110Mbp 영역에 위치한 BIEC2-808466, BIEC2-808543, BIEC2-808967, BIEC2-809370 단일염기변이 유전자형을 분석하였다. 단일염기변이 유전자형과 12개월령 체형과의 연관관계 분석을 위해 공분산분석을 수행하였으며, 출생년도, 출생월, 성별, 산차를 공분산 성분으로 분석에 이용하였다. 12개월령 육성마의 평균 체중은 $193.7{\pm}24.5kg$이었으며, 체고는 $124.5{\pm}4.0cm$였다. 분석에 이용된 4종의 단일염기변이의 miner 대립유전인자 빈도는 0.01~0.291로 확인되어 유전적 다형성이 낮았다. 공변량 중 성별과 산차는 출생연도와 출생월보다 체형 측정치에서 영향이 낮은 것으로 확인됐다. 12개월령 체형 13종에 대한 4종의 단일염기변이의 효과를 분석한 결과 BIEC2-808967 단일염기변이는 체장에서 연관관계를 확인할 수 있었으며(P<0.05), BIEC2-809370 단일염기변이에서는 체고, 배고, 고고에서 연관관계를 확인할 수 있었다(P<0.05). 본 연구결과 Jeju crossbred에서 3번 염색체 단일염기변이는 12개월령 체형에 대해 연관관계가 있는 것으로 사료되며 성장단계에 따른 추가의 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
