- •
A 13 bp indel polymorphism exists at 905 bp downstream from the stop codon of porcine DGAT2 gene.
- •
Allele A is dominant in Yorkshire, Landrace, Duroc, Lulai Black, Laiwu, Dapulian and Junmu No.1 white pig breeds.
- •
Allele B carrying the 13 bp fragment has positive effect on backfat thickness and DGAT2 expression.
- •
DGAT2 mRNA expression in the backfat tissue of pigs with genotype BB was significantly higher than AB.
