We studied sequence variations in the regulatory region of the bovine growth hormone receptor gene. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method for detecting AluI, AccI, and StuI restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the 5' flanking region of the bovine growth hormone receptor gene was developed and tested for association with milk-related traits in Holstein bulls. Allele frequencies of the polymorphisms in two groups of Holstein progeny-tested bulls born from 1950 to 1970 and in the 1980s, respectively, were estimated. The allele frequency of the AluI(-) allele was 0.63 and 0.42 in the bulls from 1950 to 1970 and in the 1980s, respectively. The frequency of the StuI(-) allele was 0.14 and 0.07 in the two respective bull groups. Allele frequency for AccI(-) allele was about 0.22 in both bull groups. The differences in allele frequencies for the AluI polymorphism in the two bull groups were significantly different (P &lt; or = .005). The AluI(+/+) bulls had a higher estimated breeding value (EBV) for fat (P &lt; or = .016) than AluI(-/-) bulls. The average effect of allele substitution for the AluI polymorphism was +/- 8 for fat EBV. The AluI polymorphism could be further evaluated for use in marker-assisted selection in dairy cattle.
