Article Influence of SCD and FABP3 Genetic Markers on Carcass Traits and Meat Quality in Aberdeen Angus Bulls(Revista Brasileira Zootecnia Brazilian Journal Animal Sci, 2025) Ardicli, Sena; Senturk, Nursen; Selvi, Tugce Necla; Yonga, Sena; Celik, Rumeysa; Karalar, Beyza; Ustuner, HakanThis study evaluated the association of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and fatty acid-binding protein 3 (FABP3) gene polymorphisms with carcass and meat quality traits in Aberdeen Angus bulls. Two hundred seventy-four Angus bulls were genotyped using PCR-RFLP and Sanger sequencing. Next, the association of SCD and FABP3 genetic variants with traits such as live weight, average daily weight gain, carcass weight (both hot and cold), dressing percentage, carcass length, back fat thickness, carcass color score, pH, and marbling score was analyzed. Significant differences were observed in average daily weight gain among different FABP3 genotypes, with the GG genotype showing the highest gains (P<0.01). Furthermore, novel associations between the SCD x FABP3 interaction and key traits were identified, including dressing percentage and carcass pH. Notably, an epistatic pattern through this genotypic interaction was demonstrated, which may significantly influence postmortem pH decline in beef cattle. The results suggest a notable impact of the FABP3 rs210042291 gene on growth rates. These findings highlight the complexity of genetic influences on meat quality traits.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2The Impact of Genetic Variants Related To the Fatty Acid Metabolic Process Pathway on Milk Production Traits in Jersey Cows(Taylor & Francis inc, 2024) Ardicli, Sena; Senturk, Nursen; Bozkurt, Berkay; Babayev, Huseyn; Selvi, Tugce; Skolnick, Stephen; Cobanoglu, OzdenThe synthesis of fatty acids plays a critical role in shaping milk production characteristics in dairy cattle. Thus, identifying effective haplotypes within the fatty acid metabolism pathway will provide novel and robust insights into the genetics of dairy cattle. This study aimed to comprehensively examine the individual and combined impacts of fundamental genes within the fatty acid metabolic process pathway in Jersey cows. A comprehensive phenotypic dataset was compiled, considering milk production traits, to summarize a cow's productivity across three lactations. Genotyping was conducted through PCR-RFLP and Sanger sequencing, while the association between genotype and phenotype was quantified using linear mixed models. Moderate biodiversity and abundant variation suitable for haplotype analysis were observed across all examined markers. The individual effects of the FABP3, LTF and ANXA9 genes significantly influenced both milk yield and milk fat production. Additionally, this study reveals novel two-way interactions between genes in the fatty acid metabolism pathway that directly affect milk fat properties. Notably, we identified that the GGAAGG haplotype in FABP3xLTFxANXA9 interaction may be a robust genetic marker concerning both milk fat yield and percentage. Consequently, the genotype combinations highlighted in this study serve as novel and efficient markers for assessing the fat content in cow's milk. [GRAPHICS]
