Influence of MC1R Gene Variants on Coat Color of Indicine Cattle Breeds Silel V. S. A. Maciel, Ingrid P. P. Oliveira, Beatriz B. Senes, Carolaine J. S. Santana, Jackeline S. Alves, Edilane A. da Silva, Fernando O. Franco, Bárbara C. F. da Silva, Fernando C. Cairo, Frederico C. Cairo, Aníbal E. Vercesi‐Filho, Raphael B. Costa, Gregório M. F. de Camargo Animal Genetics, 2026 Indicine cattle display a broad range of coat colors, representing a relevant and breed‐defining trait required for registration in breeder association. Among the genes involved in pigmentation, MC1R stands out for modulating the synthesis of melanin‐related proteins and remains poorly explored in indicine cattle breeds. Therefore, we aimed to perform fine mapping of the MC1R gene and to evaluate the association between its polymorphisms and coat color as well as skin pigmentation in seven zebu cattle breeds. A total of 295 individuals belonging to Gir, Nelore, Sindi, Indubrasil, Tabapuã, Guzerá, and Brahman cattle breeds were genotyped through PCR‐sequencing, followed by estimates of genotypic and allelic frequencies, linkage disequilibrium, and association with phenotypes using the Kruskal–Wallis test. We identified nine polymorphisms: six non‐synonymous SNPs, one coding indel, one synonymous SNP, and one 3′ downstream SNP. We report, for the first time, the SNP c.274G>A (p.Val92Met), here designated E Z1 , and SNP c.871G>A (p.Ala291Thr) associated with the dark skin phenotype in Gir cattle, here designated E Z2 . Additionally, the indel c.310del was associated with depigmentation in Sindi, Guzerá, and Gir cattle breeds. The variants described herein represent potential molecular markers to support selection strategies targeting desired coat and pigmentation phenotypes.
Beyond black and white: dissecting the genetic basis of skin depigmentation in Nellore cattle Milena A. F. Campos, Hinayah Rojas de Oliveira, Gregorio M. F. de Camargo, Henrique A. Mulim, Diercles Francisco Cardoso, Raphael Bermal Costa Mammalian Genome, 2025 Depigmentation defects in cattle are characterized by the absence of pigment in specific skin regions, increasing susceptibility to health issues and often leading to early culling. In Nellore cattle, depigmentation is primarily observed at the tail tip, mucous membranes, and as small patches across the body. This study aimed to estimate genetic parameters and perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for depigmentation in Nellore cattle. Data were sourced from the DeltaGen® breeding program, provided by Gensys®. Phenotypic records included 182,964 Nellore cattle, with a 6.8% incidence of depigmentation. Of these, 28,655 genotyped animals and 385,079 SNPs were available for the analysis. The ultra-fast generalized linear mixed model for binary traits (fastGWA-GLMM) was used for the GWAS, while variance components were estimated using a Bayesian threshold model and single-step methodology. The heritability of depigmentation was estimated at 0.12 on the observed scale and 0.54 on the liability scale. The GWAS identified 1,011 significant SNPs (p < 0.05 after Bonferroni correction) associated with depigmentation defects, located across chromosomes BTA6, BTA12, and BTA22. However, after performing a conditional GWAS to account for the top signal on BTA22, the original signal in the MITF region was no longer detected. In total, 234 genes were identified near the associated SNPs, including 129 protein-coding genes. Functional enrichment highlighted MITF , KIT and EDNRB as biologically relevant candidate genes. The gene ontology analysis highlighted biological processes related to melanogenesis, pigmentation, and hypopigmentation phenotypes, while the QTL enrichment analysis identified significant associations on BTA6 and BTA22. These findings improve our understanding of the genetic basis of depigmentation in Nellore cattle and may contribute to future selection strategies.
Genome-Wide Association Study of Morphological Defects in Nellore Cattle Using a Binary Trait Framework Milena A. F. Campos, Hinayah Rojas de Oliveira, Henrique A. Mulim, Eduarda da Silva Oliveira, Pablo Augusto de Souza Fonseca, Gregorio M. F. de Camargo, Raphael Bermal Costa Genes, 2025 Background/Objectives: Morphological defects such as limb malformations, cranial asymmetries, loin deviations, jaw misalignments, and navel irregularities are associated with early culling and reduced productivity in beef cattle. In Bos taurus indicus such as Nellore, the genetic basis of these traits remains poorly characterized. This study aimed to investigate the genetic architecture of six morphological defects in Nellore cattle, namely feet and legs malformation, chamfer asymmetry, fallen hump, loin deviation, jaw misalignment, and navel irregularities, via a genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach tailored for binary traits. Methods: Depending on the trait, the number of genotyped animals analyzed ranged from 3369 to 23,206, using 385,079 SNPs (after quality control). Analyses were conducted using a linear mixed model framework adapted for binary outcomes. Results: Significant associations were identified for four traits: feet and legs, chamfer, hump, and loin. No significant markers were detected for jaw or navel defects, likely due to lower sample sizes and trait incidence. Gene annotation revealed 49 candidate genes related to feet and legs, 4 for chamfer, 4 for hump, and 6 for loin. Conclusions: Candidate genes were enriched for biological functions, including bone remodeling, muscle development, lipid metabolism, and epithelial organization. Overlaps with QTL related to conformation, feed intake, reproductive traits, and carcass quality were also observed. These findings provide novel insights into the genetic control of morphological defects in Nellore cattle and may inform breeding strategies aimed at improving structural soundness.

MC1R gene polymorphisms and plumage color in greater rheas: preliminary results Cora Sacramento Rocha, Jackeline Santos Alves, Luís Fernando Batista Pinto, Raphael Bermal Costa, Gregório Miguel Ferreira de Camargo European Poultry Science, 2025 Greater rheas are wild ratite birds native to South America that are also raised in commercial farms. Rhea feathers are marketable products, with the white ones having a higher market value since they are easier to dye. Grey feathers are the most common phenotype, also occurring all-white birds. The present mechanism and gene action behind the white plumage phenotype expression are not known. The aim of this study was to verify whether the MC1R gene affects plumage color in rheas. Ten greater rheas (7 white and 3 grey) were studied for the partial region of the MC1R gene by PCR-sequencing. Two synonymous SNPs linked and associated with color were found, with white plumage being dominant. Marker-assisted selection or even phenotypic selection can be easily applied in farms and zoos, as white animals have a higher market value and/or are more attractive for display. The results herein presented are already applicable.
Estimation of genetic parameters for reproductive indices in sheep Beatriz Bastos Senes, Valdecy Aparecida Rocha da Cruz, Hymerson Costa Azevedo, Raphael Bermal Costa, Gregório Miguel Ferreira de Camargo Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2024 This study aimed to estimate two reproductive efficiency indices in sheep based on the ratio between litter weight (at birth and weaning) and dam weight, as well as their genetic parameters. Phenotypic and pedigree data comprising the period from 1990 to 2018 were obtained from the Santa Inês sheep database of Embrapa Tabuleiros Costeiros. For estimation of the genetic parameters of the indices, a repeatability model was applied in single‐ and two‐trait analyses by a Bayesian approach. The mean reproductive efficiency index was 0.069 ± 0.0163 and 0.43 ± 0.0955 at birth and weaning, respectively. These values indicate that, on average, ewes give birth to 69 g of lamb per kg body weight and wean 430 g of lamb per kg body weight. Described here for the first time, the heritability estimate obtained in single‐ and two‐trait analyses was 0.24 for the index based on birth weights and ranged from 0.13 to 0.15 for the index based on weaning weights. The estimates indicate the possibility of genetic gain by selection and are similar to those reported for reproductive traits in sheep, representing an option for selection criterion. The genetic correlation between indices was positive and moderate (0.26). The repeatability estimates were high (0.49 for the birth weight index and 0.71 for the weaning weight index). These values indicate good prediction of future performance with few observations. The weaning weight index might be a good culling criterion of females.
MYOSTATIN GENE POLYMORPHISMS DO NOT DETERMINE MUSCLE HYPERTROPHY IN BUFFALOES: A CASE REPORT Jackeline Santos Alves, Sebastião Tavares Rolim-Filho, Humberto Tonhati, Raphael Bermal Costa, Gregório Miguel Ferreira De Camargo Buffalo Bulletin, 2024 The aim of the study was to detect variations in the exonic and intronic regions of the myostatin gene in buffaloes with different body conformations. The regions of the gene were analyzed using the PCR-sequencing technique comparing an animal with muscle hypertrophy and ten animals with normal musculature. The hypertrophied buffalo sequence was compared to the others and no exclusive genotype was identified. It suggests that the found MSTN variants are not singly associated to muscle hypertrophy in buffaloes.
Genomic regions associated with coat color in Gir cattle Silel Vinicius Simões Andrade Maciel, Ingrid Pereira Pinto Oliveira, Beatriz Bastos Senes, Josineudson Augusto II de Vasconcelos Silva, Fabieli Loise Braga Feitosa, Jackeline Santos Alves, Raphael Bermal Costa, Gregório Miguel Ferreira de Camargo Genome, 2024 Indicine cattle breeds are adapted to the tropical climate, and their coat plays an important role in this process. Coat color influences thermoregulation and the adhesion of ectoparasites and may be associated with productive and reproductive traits. Furthermore, coat color is used for breed qualification, with breeders preferring certain colors. The Gir cattle is characterized by a wide variety of coat colors. Therefore, we performed genome-wide association studies to identify candidate genes for coat color in Gir cattle. Different phenotype scenarios were considered in the analyses and regions were identified on eight chromosomes. Some regions and many candidate genes are influencing coat color in the Gir cattle, which was found to be a polygenic trait. The candidate genes identified have been associated with white spotting patterns and base coat color in cattle and other species. In addition, a possible epistatic effect on coat color determination in the Gir cattle was suggested. This is the first published study that identified genomic regions and listed candidate genes associated with coat color in Gir cattle. The findings provided a better understanding of the genetic architecture of the trait in the breed and will allow to guide future fine-mapping studies for the development of genetic markers for selection.
Variability of PRDM9 in buffaloes Luca Godoi Rocha Santana, Jackeline Santos Alves, Fabieli Loise Braga Feitosa, Victoria Camilla Parente Rocha, Humberto Tonhati, Raphael Bermal Costa, Gregório Miguel Ferreira de Camargo Frontiers in Genetics, 2024 The buffalo population raised in Brazil tend to show loss of genetic variability over generations, with significant estimates of inbreeding depression. Besides mating genetically distant individuals, other tools can be used to maintain/increase the genetic variability of the population, such as the use of PRDM9 genotypes. The PRDM9 gene promotes the creation of crossing-over points across the genome, with each allele promoting the creation of a different hotspot. Thus, increasing the frequency of less frequent alleles in the population, allows the emergence of new haplotypes and increases genetic variability. So, this study aimed to characterize the alleles of the PRDM9 gene circulating in the Murrah, Jaffarabadi, and Mediterranean breeds and verify their potential impact on genetic diversity management within the populations. The three alleles (B, C and D) were found in the three breeds at different frequencies, as well as the genotypic frequencies. The mating of different homozygous genotypes and genotypes carrying less frequent alleles may increase recombination rates and population variability. Four described variants and one new variant for allele D were found by sequencing. It was verified that it is possible to mate sires and dams with different PRDM9 genotypes in order to try to increase genetic variability in buffalo populations, improving the matings choices in buffalo breeding, helping to maintain production levels.
