Abstract
- 1. The gene IGF2BP1 has been reported as being related to the body size and body weight in ducks, goats and chickens. However, this potential growth-related gene has not yet been reported in geese. 2. The goose IGF2BP1 cDNA (IGF2BP1-X1) is 2,925 bp in length, containing an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,731 bp that encodes a protein of 576 amino acids. Six IGF2BP1 transcripts (IGF2BP1-X2∼IGF2BP1-X7) were identified due to the alternative splicing of different exons within the IGF2BP1-X1 transcript. 3. RT-qPCR analysis indicated that the goose IGF2BP1 mRNA was differentially expressed in the examined tissues of female embryos (28 d of development), adult (70 d of age) and laying (270 d of age) Zhedong White geese. 4. In total, 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and three insertion/deletion (InDel) variants were detected in several introns and 3'-untranslated regions of the goose IGF2BP1 gene. The 17-bp InDel within IGF2BP1 intron 14 was significantly associated with body weight at six weeks old (BW6, P < 0.05), and extremely significantly associated with the BW8 and BW10 (P < 0.01) of Zhedong White geese.
