Abstract: In the current research, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in
heart fatty acid-binding protein(H-FABP) gene promoter region (1553 bp) were screened in 7 Chinese indigenous pig breeds, 2 Western commercial pig breeds and 1 wild boar in Northeast of China. The results showed that 18 SNPs were found and the average distance among these SNPs was about 81.7 bp. The nucleotide diversity(π) was ranged from 0.18% (Jianghai type) to 0.34% (North China type). The NJ tree obtained for H-FABP did not show a geographical arrangement for the gene.

Key words: pig; H-FABP gene; promoter region; genetic variation
