title: PCR-RFLPs within the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH-A) gene of the domestic pigeon (Columba livia var. domestica).
abstract: A total of 45 racing pigeons were genotyped using PCR-RFLP method. PCR product of the LDH-A gene was amplified according to the Long-PCR procedure. The amplification products were digested with restriction enzymes. PCR-RFLPs for two restriction enzymes, HaeIII and NlaIV, were observed. Two pairs of alleles LDH-A(A) and LDH-A(B) for LDH-A-NlaIV polymorphism and LDH-A(C) and LDH-A(D) for LDH-A-HaeIII polymorphism were detected in the homozygous and heterozygous states. Frequencies of alleles were as follows: A - 0.622, B - 0.378 and C - 0.256, D - 0.744.
