Identification of SNPs in Interferon Gamma, Interleukin-22, and Their Receptors and Associations with Health and Production-Related Traits in Canadian Holstein Bulls
Abstract
Genetic variants in a number of immunoregulatory genes have been previously associated with health and production traits in dairy cattle. Therefore, in the following study, the genes coding interferon gamma (IFNG), IFNG receptor 1 and 2 domains, interleukin-22 (IL22), and IL22 receptor alpha 1, were investigated for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Holstein bulls. These SNPs, along with SNPs previously identified in IL10, IL10 …
