melatonin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) that bind melatonin. Three types of melatonin receptors have been cloned. melatonin receptor subtype MTNRc has been identified in amphibians and birds. Previous research has shown that the three common melatonin receptors regulate physiological processes, including seasonal reproduction and ovarian physiology. However, whether or not any polymorphisms of the different melatonin receptor subtypes are associated with reproductive traits in chickens is not known. In this study, we performed candidate gene analysis to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MTNR1C gene. In local Iraqi Chicken population. SNP discovery was achieved by sequencing DNA samples.
PCR-SSCP/PCR-sequencing, and PCR-RFLP method were used to genotype the MTNRc gene, respectively. SPSS program 24 was used to estimate the statistical significance of association between genotypes at each locus and reproductive traits of chickens. In a sample of 200 chickens, polymorphisms (JQ249896: g.294G>A) were detected in the melatonin receptor MTNRc, statistically significant association (P < 0.05) was found between SNP (MTNRc SNP) and reproductive traits: egg number at 100 days of age after maturity (EN) after crossbreeding, Body weight at first egg (BWM) for both flocks before and after hybridization but before crossbreeding statistically significant association (P < 0.05) with First Egg weight (FEW) and Age Maturity (AM), we found an association between MTNRc gene and some egg production traits in local Iraqi chicken, that can be used for genetic breeding program as a marker assisted selection marker.
