Characterization of OCA2 cDNA in different porcine breeds and analysis of its potential effect on skin pigmentation in a red Iberian strain.

Animal genetics - 1 Apr 2006

Fernández A, Silió L, Rodríguez C, Ovilo C

Abstract excerpt

Although the function of the OCA2 gene product has not been totally clarified, variation in OCA2 has been associated with skin and hair pigmentation in human and mouse. However, its contribution to skin colour in domestic species has not been reported. In this study, cDNA and intron 9 sequences of the porcine OCA2 gene have been characterized in several pig populations. The cDNA sequence alignment of 20 animals...
