Abstract
Callipyge is a candidate gene with a significant effect on meat quality
and growth in sheep. The aim of this study is to investigate the polymorphism of
the Callipyge gene (CLPG) in Akkaraman breed. In the study, DNAs obtained
from blood samples of 50 Akkaraman sheep were used as study material. The
CLPG/Faq1 polymorphism was examined in all individuals using the method
PCR-RFLP. Only A allele and AA genotype were detected after PCR-RFLP
procedure. This is the first study in which Callipyge gene polymorphism was
investigated in Akkaraman breed, and the findings show that Akkaraman breed
has a monomorphic structure in terms of Callipyge/Faq1 polymorphism.
