- Genetic maps are created through coupling analyzes (Morton 1955; Xu 1997; Penalver 1999). Two prerequisites are required for this, namely an animal population with a known lineage (family structure) and numerous polymorphic loci (Archibald and Haley 1998). Molecular genetic markers can be used as polymorphic loci (Jarne and Lagoda 1996; Hui Liu 1998; Luikart and England 1999). A molecular genetic marker can be defined as a section of the genetic material that has or has a specific property. It is a marked locus that is inherited from generation to generation (Nagel 1996; O ⁇ rien et al. 1999).
- RFLPs restriction fragment length polymorphisms
- microsatellites Jarne and Lagoda 1996; Montaldo and Herrera-Meza 1998.
- Most RFLPs are diallelic and, according to Hui Liu (1998), have low PIC (Polymorphism Information Content) values compared to microsatellites.
- PIC Polymorphism Information Content
- Microsatellites are numerous and have high PIC values. Around 65,000 to 100,000 microsatellite loci are evenly distributed in the pig genome (Ellegren 1993; Schlötterer 1997; Dounavi 2000). The identification of microsatellites is carried out by various laboratories, the current number of identified microsatellites is 1286 (as of 05.03.2001). A large number of quantitative performance characteristics of pigs and other mammals can already be achieved with the help of genetic Markers are predicted. To date, however, there is no possibility of demonstrating predisposing teat.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing genetic markers by means of which animals are identified which are predisposed to the expression of teats or pass on such a predisposition. This object is achieved according to the invention by providing the embodiments characterized in the patent claims.
- the invention thus relates to the use of a first nucleic acid for determining the predisposition for the expression or inheritance of the quantitative feature of inverted teat in a mammal, the first nucleic acid having a length of at least 8 nucleotides and being identical or essentially identical to a second nucleic acid, which occurs in the region of microsatellite S0220 on chromosome 6 of the pig or in a homologous position in the genome of other mammals; or from microsatellite SW2443 on chromosome

- the hybridization probe is preferably a radioactively labeled nucleic acid or it contains modified nucleotides.
- the invention also includes such modifications of the nucleic acids claimed here.
- Hybridization probes and primers the second with the nucleic acids, preferably under stringent conditions' hybridize.
- stringent hybridization conditions are understood to mean, for example, 0.2 ⁇ SSC (0.03 M NaCl, 0.003M sodium citrate, pH 7) at 65 ° C.
- the hybridization temperature is below 65 ° C., for example above 55 ° C., preferably above 50 ° C.
- Stringent hybridization temperatures depend on the size or length of the nucleic acid and its nucleotide compositions and are to be determined by a person skilled in the art by manual tests.
- predisposition refers to the presence of a hereditary disposition, which can possibly result in an inheritance of the hereditary disposition and / or the expression of a characteristic.
- the characteristic teat is a particularly broad and flat teat with a centrally located indentation of different thickness, where the teat tip can be invisible, instead of the teat tip a crater-shaped pit is then formed is mostly filled with black colored dirt particles.
- teat teats can occur in all mammals, so the term “mammal” is to be viewed comprehensively and includes humans.
- microsatellite S0220 is at position SSC6 98cM, microsatellite SW2443 at position SSC2 20cM, microsatellite SS40097 100cM, microsatellite S0007 at position SSC14 70cM, microsatellite SSW1301 at position SSC1 160cM and microsatellite S0164 at position SSC3 70cM. Since genetic mapping positions are dependent on the population, this position specification is subject to fluctuations.
- microsatellite S0220 on chromosome 6 of the pig denotes a position on chromosome 6 which is specific for a population and comprises 5 cm upstream and / or downstream of the indicated position, preferably up to 10 cm upstream and / or downstream, more preferably 20 cm upstream and / or downstream and most preferably 30 cm upstream and / or downstream of the indicated position on the chromosome, the same applies to the other microsatellites mentioned.

- microsatellite SW1301 defined as the area between microsatellites S0155 to SW1301
- microsatellite S0164 defined as the area between microsatellites SW72 to SW2570.
- the comparative genome maps between different species are based on the mapping of one or more loci in the genome of the species in question.
- "Homologous position” refers to nucleic acid segments in the genome of other mammals that have a sequence identity with the second nucleic acid disclosed above, of at least 95% sequence identity, preferably at least 30%, stronger over the entire sequence length or in specific genes located here or at one or more loci preferably at least 40%, even more preferably at least 50% and particularly preferably 75% sequence identity
- the sequence identity is preferably determined by the FASTA, BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) or Bestfit algorithms of the GCG sequence analysis program (Wisconsin Sequence Analysis Package, Version 8 for Unix, Ge ⁇ etics Computer Group, University Research Park, 575 Madison, Wl 53711).
- the parameters are preferably set so that the percentage of identity is calculated over the entire length of the reference sequence and homology gaps ("gaps" ) of up to 5% of the G total number of nucleotides are allowed.
- the so-called optional parameters are preferably left at their preset values.
- the term “essentially identical” means that, for example, 7 nucleotides are identical in a range of 8 nucleotides. However, the invention also includes embodiments in which 4, 5 or 6 of the 8 nucleotides have the corresponding sequence of second nucleic acid are identical.

- the term "a first nucleic acid” in the sense of the invention also includes that more than one (first) nucleic acid in the use according to the invention can be used. This can be, for example, two, three or four nucleic acids.
- second nucleic acid can mean both the + strand and the - strand.
- the first nucleic acid can be identical or essentially identical to the + strand during the other first nucleic acid may be identical or substantially identical to the strand, in which case it is preferred that the "Alignment" of the first nucleic acid is in opposite directions, which enables a PCR to be carried out.
- nucleic acids are made available for the first time, which allow a targeted molecular-biological diagnosis of the predisposition to the teat. It must be taken into account in particular that the teat assessment is still carried out at a very early point in time, which mostly does not or only insufficiently permits detection of teats. With the invention disclosed here, the time of the selection can be shifted significantly forward, so that there is no longer any need to wait for the phenotypic expression of the feature.

- the coupling analysis in animals from commercial herds shows a QTL with a maximum NPL of 2.6 for chromosome 6 when calculated over the entire animal material with 70 affected sibpairs from the breed Academic Landrasse, DL, and their crossing with Deutscher Edelschwein, DE This is in the position in which a QTL region with NPL 3.8 (SSC6 position OcM microsatellite S0035) was detected in animals of the DUMI resource population, but not the maximum NPL of 8.8 (SSC6 position 120 cM microsatellite) S0220) for this chromosome.
- Including only the 45 affected sibpairs of the DL breed shows a maximum NPL of 1.9 in the position of the microsatellite S0220.
- the development of the mammary gland is regulated by a number of hormones.
- hormones In particular, the influence of sex hormones and metabolic hormones on the development of the mammary gland has been established and has been experimentally proven in various animal species (Oka et al., 1991; Günther, 1984). The effects of these hormones are mediated by various growth factors (Oka et al., 1991). It can be assumed that the development of lactation abnormalities is due to a dysregulation of the hormonal control. Therefore, genes coding for hormones, hormone receptors and growth factors are candidate genes for the analysis of teat abnormalities.
- SNPs were identified by comparative sequencing of the project Transcripts of an adult animal of the breeds Duroc, Berlin miniature pig, Hampshire, Pietrain, German landrace, German noble pig as well as the F1 and F2 of the resource population.
- the other candidate genes are genotyped using the polymorphisms described in the literature.
- Chi-square tests and transmission disequilibrium tests were carried out for statistical analysis of the relationship between genotypic variation in the candidate gene locations and the trait.
- the chi-square tests were carried out with the program package SAS (SAS, 2000), the TDTs with the program TDT / S-TDT program 1.1 (Shman et al., 1993).
- genes TGFB1, LEPR on chromosome 6 and RLN on chromosome 1 map within the QTL regions identified here also represent positional candidate genes.
- the test results are supported by the fact that the position of the leptin receptor and the TGFB1 on chromosome 6 is in the chromosome area, which also had a highly significant NPL score (8.8) in the QTL analysis.
- the relaxin maps to chromosome 1 in the area of the QTL.
