We report and compare the partial genomic sequence (from part of Intron 1 to part of Exon 3) of goat,\udsheep, cattle and water buffalo leptin (LEP) genes. Genomic DNA was obtained from leukocytes of 117 goats\udbelonging to six breeds (Angora, Alpine, Garganica, Girgentana, Maltese and Red Syrian); 30 sheep belonging to five\udbreeds (Altamura, Sarda, Apulian Merino, Leccese, Apennine) 50 water buffaloes and 43 Italian Friesian cattle. All\udthe four species had a microsatellite region in Intron 1. According to the results of a population analysis, we observed\ud10, 5, and 2 alleles, in cattle, water buffalo and goats, respectively, in this region. No nucleotide variation was observed\udin sheep. The results of this study show that in Red Syrian goats the two alleles are associated with significantly\uddifferent effects on beta-hydroxybutyric acid (P = 0.04) and free thyroxine (P = 0.018) levels, and milk somatic cell\udcounts (P = 0.034). The same microsatellite region was tendentially associated with variation in insulin-like growth\udfactor-1 (P = 0.082) and triglycerides (P = 0.072) levels. The results of this study are further evidence for the role\udof leptin as an indicator of metabolism and mammary gland health in dairy ruminants
