Özet
This study aims to find the association between MYLK4 gene polymorphism and growth
traits at different ages, such as birth, 3rd-month, 6th-month and 12th-month ages in
Anatolian black cattle. PCR-RFLP method was used to detect the polymorphism for MYLK4
gene in at G61595A locus. Allele and genotype frequencies were A: 0.34, G: 0.66 and AA:
0.17, AG: 0.34 and GG: 0.49. The chi-square v2 test showed an agreement to
Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (p > .01). GLM and RRM models were used to estimate the
association between MYLK4 gene polymorphism and growth traits. The results of the statistical analysis indicated an association between MYLK4 gene polymorphism and growth traits
at different stage ages in Anatolian black cattle. Therefore, the G61595A mutation of MYLK4
gene can be used as a genetic marker for the selection of growth and development traits in
the cattle breeding programs.
