TLDR
The results showed significant associations between the LL genotype of the GH1/Alu I polymorphism and higher weight gain and body weight at slaughter (p < 0.05) and the POU1F1/Hinf I polymorphisms did not have any effect on the growth and carcass traits analyzed.Abstract:
The objectives of the present study were to estimate the allele and genotype frequencies of the GH1/Alu I and POU1F1/Hinf I polymorphisms in beef cattle belonging to different genetic groups and to determine the effects of these polymorphisms on growth and carcass traits in cattle submitted to feedlot management, an intensive production model. Genotyping was performed on 384 animals, including 79 Nellore, 30 Canchim (5/8 Charolais + 3/8 Zebu), 30 Simmental x Nellore crossbred and 245 Angus x Nellore crossbred cattle. Body weight, weight gain, dressing percentage, Longissimus dorsi area and backfat thickness were fitted using the General Linear Model (GLM) procedure of the SAS program and the least square means of the genotypes were compared using the F test. The results showed significant associations between the LL genotype of the GH1/Alu I polymorphism and higher weight gain and body weight at slaughter (p < 0.05). The POU1F1/Hinf I polymorphism did not have any effect on the growth and carcass traits analyzed.read more

Candidate growth genes in finfish — Where should we be looking?
TL;DR: In an effort to stimulate increased researcher focus into the identification of fish growth genes, the terrestrial livestock and finfish literature is reviewed, and based on positive associations between genes and growth, those genes that should be further targeted as candidate growth genes in aquaculture species are identified.

A critical analysis of production-associated DNA polymorphisms in the genes of cattle, goat, sheep, and pig
TL;DR: In this review, the genetic variations that underlie several diseases of livestock (under monogenic and polygenic control) are analyzed and factors hampering research efforts toward identification of genetic influences on animal disease identification and control are highlighted.

Associations of DNA polymorphisms in growth hormone and its transcriptional regulators with growth and carcass traits in two populations of Brangus bulls.
TL;DR: Polymorphisms in GH and its transcriptional regulators appear to be predictors of growth and carcass traits in Brangus bulls, particularly those with heterozygous GH genotypes.

Assessment of GH1, CAPN1 and CAST polymorphisms as markers of carcass and meat traits in Bos indicus and Bos taurus–Bos indicus cross beef cattle
Rogério Abdallah Curi,Luis Artur Loyola Chardulo,Juliana Giusti,Antonio Carlos Silveira,Cyntia Ludovico Martins,Henrique Nunes de Oliveira +5 more
TL;DR: The fact that the CAPN316 polymorphism did not show adequate segregation in Nellore cattle confirms the difficulty of using this marker in breeding programs of different Bos indicus breeds and contributes to the validation of previous findings.

TL;DR: The isolation of bovine and rat GHF-1 cDNA clones is described and it is indicated that this region of the protein functions as its DNA binding domain, which correlates with the selective transcription of its target, the GH gene.
