• The research was performed to find associations between SNPs of targeted functional genes and porcine carcass traits. Three different breeds were considered: Italian Large White, Italian Duroc and Italian Landrace. The estimated breeding values (EBVs) for average daily gain (ADG), back fat thickness, lean meat, ham weight and feed conversion rate were obtained from the National Association of Pig Breeders of Italy. Within each breed, 200 individuals were selected, half in the higher and half in the lower 5% tail of the normal distribution curve of the population of the variable ADG. DNA was extracted from blood samples and analysed for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in promoter regions of 6 genes (LEP, MYF6, MYOD, OPN, PIK3R2, SCD), already known for associations with carcass traits. Allele frequencies were calculated for each SNP locus and all of these resulted polymorphic. Pearson correlation test between EBVs evidenced significant correlations (P<0.01) between all considered phenotypic traits and Chi-square analysis shown significant differences (P<0.01) in alleles frequencies between minus e plus variant groups for ADG. Furthermore significant associations between SNPs of genes and productive traits were found. Putative transcription factor binding sites were identified in these regions using bioinformatic tools.
