Abstract :Callipyge insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CLPG); is a candidate gene with a significant effect on meat quality and growth in sheep. The aim of this study was to investigate the polymorphism of the CLPG gene in the Akkaraman breed. In the study, DNAs obtained from the blood samples of 50 Akkaraman sheep was used as study material. The CLPG/Faq1 polymorphism was examined in all individuals using the method PCR-RFLP. Only A allele and AA genotype were detected after PCR-RFLP procedure. This is the first study in which CLPG gene polymorphism was investigated in Akkaraman breed, and the findings showed that the Akkaraman breed has a monomorphic structure in terms of CLPG/FaqI polymorphism.
