Abstract

The article presents the results of genotype determination in three target SNPs in the MPDZ gene, a potential candidate influencing the resistance of sheep to footrot, in representatives of domestic and wild Ovis. High-density SNP profiles generated for 15 local sheep breeds and 4 wild species of the genus Ovis were used as materials for the study. SNP profiles of 10 foreign breeds were added to the sample as comparison groups. Major and minor alleles in target SNPs (rs418747104, rs426927857, rs406749947) were determined. The influence of specific genotypes in target SNPs on resistance to footrot is discussed. In this study, we made the first attempt to understand the genetic mechanisms underlying resistance/susceptibility to footrot in domestic sheep breeds raised in Russia and wild representatives of the genus Ovis.
