Paired box 7 (Pax7) gene, a member of the paired box gene family,plays a critical role in animal growth and muscle development, especially incell proliferation and self-renewal. The aim of this study was to detect the10 base pair (bp) duplication insertion/deletion (indel) in the promoterregion within the bovine Pax7 gene as well as its association withgrowth traits. Herein, a total of 718 individuals from five Chinese cattlebreeds were sampled and detected. The 10 bp duplication indel was found inthese cattle breeds and there were three genotypes: II (insertion/insertion),ID (insertion/deletion), and DD (deletion/deletion). Moreover, this indel wassignificantly associated with the body weight in Xianan cattle (P = 0.006),the body height in Jinjiang cattle (P = 0.046), and the hip width in Pi'nancattle (P = 0.020). Consistently, the individuals with II genotype showedbetter phenotypic traits than those with the other genotypes inthese five breeds. These findings suggest that the10 bp duplication indel within the bovine Pax7 gene could beconsidered as an effective DNA molecular marker that provides valuabletheoretical basis for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in beef cattle in thefuture
