摘要: RAR related orphan receptor A (RORA), which encodes the retinoid-acid-related orphan receptor alpha (ROR alpha), is a clock gene found in skeletal muscle. Several studies have shown that ROR alpha plays an important role in bone formation, suggesting that RORA gene may take part in the regulation of growth and development. The purpose of this research is to study the insertion/deletion (indel) variations of the RORA gene and investigate the relationship with the growth traits of Shaanbei white cashmere (SBWC) goats. Herein, the current study identified that the P4-11-bp and P11-28-bp deletion sites are polymorphic among 12 pairs of primers within the RORA gene in the SBWC goats (n = 641). Moreover, the P11-28-bp deletion locus was significantly related to the body height (p = 0.046), height at hip cross (p = 0.012), and body length (p = 0.003). Both of P4-11-bp and P11-28-bp indels showed the moderate genetic diversity (0.25
