摘要:

遗传多效性是指单个基因或遗传变异对多种表型性状或疾病同时产生影响的生物学现象。随着组学技术的迅速发展,多效性研究在揭示人类复杂性状与疾病的遗传基础及其分子机制方面取得显著进展,已鉴定出大量多效性基因和功能性遗传变异位点。畜禽重要经济性状多属于复杂性状,彼此之间普遍存在表型相关和遗传相关,而遗传多效性正是导致这一现象的重要机制之一。目前,由于研究策略和技术手段的限制,针对畜禽重要经济性状的多效性研究仍相对有限。借鉴人类复杂性状和疾病研究的成功方法,将其应用于畜禽遗传研究,将有助于深入解析性状间复杂关系的共有遗传基础,明确性状间相关的性质(协同或拮抗),从而为制定科学、合理且高效的育种计划提供理论依据。本文系统综述了遗传多效性发展历程、分子机制、常用研究方法以及畜禽重要经济性状遗传多效性解析的研究进展,为深入阐释畜禽重要经济性状的遗传基础、挖掘多效基因及相关分子标记、推动畜禽遗传改良提供参考。

Abstract:

Genetic pleiotropy refers to the biological phenomenon in which a single gene or genetic variation simultaneously influences multiple phenotypic traits or diseases. With the rapid development of omics technology, pleiotropy research has achieved significant advances in revealing the genetic basis and molecular mechanisms of human complex traits and diseases, and a large number of pleiotropic genes and functional genetic variant sites have been identified. Important economical traits in livestock and poultry are predominantly complex in nature and commonly exhibit both phenotypic and genetic correlations, and genetic pleiotropy is one of the important mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. However, current studies on pleiotropy related to important economic traits in livestock and poultry remain relatively limited, primarily due to constraints in research strategies and technical approaches. By adapting successful methodologies from studies of human complex traits and diseases and applying them to livestock and poultry, it is conducive to deeply understanding the shared genetic architecture among correlated traits, clarifying the nature of these correlations (synergistic or antagonistic), thereby ultimately providing a robust theoretical basis for designing scientifically sound, rational, and efficient breeding programs. This review systematically summarizes the historical development, molecular mechanisms, commonly used study methods of genetic pleiotropy, and advances in the analysis of pleiotropy in important economic traits of livestock and poultry. It aims to provide references for further elucidation of the genetic basis of these traits, facilitating the discovery of pleiotropic genes and related molecular markers, and promoting genetic improvement in livestock and poultry.
