Dissecting the role of single nucleotide polymorphism of lymphotoxin beta gene during pig domestication using bioinformatic and experimental approaches by R. B. Aitnazarov, E. V. Ignatieva, N. E. Bazarova, V. G. Levitsky, S. P. Knyazev, Y. Gon, N. S. Yudin

“…The low responsiveness of the immune system could become hereditary through fixation of genes with “unfavorable” mutations in populations. The objectives of this work are: 1) determination of frequencies of genotypes and alleles of the rs340283541 SNP in the gene for the lymphotoxin beta (LTB) cytokine in pigs of domestic breeds and wild boars; 2) investigation of the expression of LTB mRNA in minipigs with different genotypes, and 3) bioinformational analysis of the putative functional role of the SNP. …”
