Abstrakt: Butyrophilin (BTN1A1) gene is located in the neighborhood of a quantitative trait loci for milk production in bovine autosome 23. We verified the genetic variability of exon-3 in BTN1A1 and its association with milk production traits in Holstein Friesian crossbreds of Kerala. Genomic DNA was isolated and 94 bp fragment enclosing exon-3 was amplified by primers designed using PRIMER 3 based on reference sequence (GenBank NC_037350). Pooled amplicons were sequenced by Sanger's method and a novel single nucleotide polymorphism due to a transversion of guanine to adenine at position 21 of amplicon (G21A) leading to amino acid change arginine to glutamine was detected. The study population was genotyped by high-resolution melt curve analysis and revealed two genotypes with frequencies GG/0.84 and GA/0.14. The allele G was found to be the major one (G/0.93 and A/0.07). Moreover, association analysis of G21A with milk production traits was done using the General linear model-Analysis of Variance considering herd, season, and parity as non-genetic factors and milk production trait as a dependent variable. In analysis, animals with GA genotype were found to be having significantly higher (p ≤ 0.01) 305 day milk (GG:2720.74 ± 122.92 kg; GA:3250.20 ± 183.24 kg), fat (GG:106.55 ± 4.32 kg; GA:126.30 ± 13.35 kg), and SNF yield (GG: 211.52 ± 9.20 kg; GA: 246.90 ± 13.70 kg). However, GG (7.80 ± 0.04) genotype has significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) SNF percent than GA (7.65 ± 0.07). Butyrophilin gene polymorphism G21A can be suggested as a molecular marker for future breeding programmes of cattle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
