Abstract

Until now, a total of nine polymorphic sites corres- ponding to six different alleles have been described at the κ-casein (CSN3) locus in the domestic goat (Capra hircus). A protocol for the rapid and simultaneous geno- typing of five goat CSN3 alleles by using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymor- phism (PCR-SSCP) technique was developed. More- over, the developed test was validated by screening the CSN3 variability in four Italian breeds, Garganica, Jon- ica, Maltese, and Camosciata. Seven different patterns were readily identifiable. These corresponded to five known alleles and two newly identified variants. The G/A substitution at nucleotide position 471, which is not identifiable at the protein level but was found to be very frequent in the typed breeds, is easily detectable by the protocol developed. The PCR-SSCP analysis is a powerful tool for the genetic study of CSN3 variability in domestic goats, allowing both the simultaneous iden- tification of different alleles, and the detection of new variants.
