Correlation analysis of growth hormone gene and growth traits and in silico protein investigation in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax).

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: gene were found to be significantly associated with total weight, fillet weight and head length. Additionally, the association between GH g.1557A>T genotypes and both preanal and abdominal lengths was statistically significant. Similarly, the genotypes of g. 1857 C>T loci having the synonymous mutation in phenylalanine amino acid were significantly associated with standard length. The haplotype 4 reported the highest weight and length traits than the other haplotypes. It was concluded that haplotype 4 could be used as a potential genetic marker for selective breeding programs of European sea bass under Mediterranean conditions.
