Full TextAbstract
The aim of this study was to identify the Complex Vertebral Malformation (CVM) in Iranian Holstein bulls. This disease is a hereditary recessive disorder in Holstein cattle. In total 144 blood samples were prepared from Holstein bulls from Abbas Abad Animal Breeding Center and Ferdowsi University of Mashhad s Dairy Farm in Khorasan state of Iran. Genomic Polymerase Chain Reaction-Single Stranded Conformation Polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method was performed to amplify the polymorphic region of the bovine solute carrier family 35 member 3 (SLC35A3) gene at codon 559 from bovine Chromosome 3. PCR products from the polymorphic region of (SLC35A3) gene (177 bp) were analyzed by the SSCP method. The results of this study demonstrated that there was no carrier of CVM in Iranian bulls in these Centers. Although we did not observe any carrier but, widespread screening programs for detection of genetic disorders seems necessary.
