Genetic variation in promoter region of the bovine LAP3 gene associated with estimated breeding values of milk production traits and clinical mastitis in dairy cattle.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to identify genetic variants in the promoter and 5'UTR regions of bovine leucine amino peptidase three (LAP3) gene and analysed their associations with estimated breeding values (EBVs) of milk production traits and clinical mastitis in Sahiwal and Karan Fries cattle. Eleven SNPs were identified within the region under study of the LAP3 gene, including seven promoter variants (rs717156555: C>G, rs720373055: T>C, rs715189731: A>G, rs516876447: A>G, rs461857269: C>T, rs136548163: C>T, and rs720349928: G>A) and four 5'UTR variants (rs717884982: C>T, rs722359733: C>T, rs481631804: C>T and rs462932574: T>G). Out of them, 10 SNPs variants were found in both Sahiwal and Karan Fries cattle, with one SNP variant (rs481631804: C>T) being unique to Karan Fries cattle. Sev
