note = {In farm animals, the structural and functional diversity of skeletal muscle is represented by the variety of myosin isoforms. Understanding muscle fiber characteristics and related genes will help to optimize the animal production. The present study has been carried out to quantify transcript abundance of MyHC isoforms and to further identify candidate genes for body composition and meat quality in pigs. Five pig breeds were included in this study. In both commercial breeds of Duroc and Pietrain, abundance of MyHC type IIb accounted for more than half of the MyHC transcripts. The proportion of MyHC type IIb transcripts was similar in the crossbred pigs DUPI (Duroc x Pietrain) and DUMI (Duroc x Berlin Miniature Pigs). The Vietnamese native pig, Mongcai, showed very low MyHC IIb transcript abundance compared to the other breeds and crosses. However, the Mongcai showed much higher relative abundance of the other MyHC isoforms. In comparison of fiber proportion between two extreme muscle groups, discordant sib-pairs in the DUPI and the DUMI population differed significantly in the percentage of type IIb fibers. In the hybridization of microarray experiment, four discordant sib-pairs of F2-DUPI animals were used. Three genes were shown to be highly expressed in the small muscle animal group and two of them, FTH1 and FHL1C were further validated by real-time RT-PCR. Moreover, the TNNC1 gene, derived from a preliminary microarray hybridization and the CKM gene, selected from literature were found to have significantly higher expression in Pietrain compared to Mongcai. For SNP detection and association analysis, two SNPs were detected in the 3’UTR of FTH1 gene. One of them had no effects on any performance traits, whereas the other SNP was statistically associated with average daily gain (ADG) and shear force. The constructed haplotype of this gene resulted in association with ADG, meat color and ultimate pH. For FHL1C, no SNP could be detected. In contrast, one SNP in the intron part of TNNC1 showed association with eye muscle area and other meat-related traits and conductivity. Finally, one SNP in the promoter region of CKM was significantly associated with many fatness traits. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that type IIb is the determinant fiber contributing to the differentiation of large and small eye muscle area in the pig. FTH1, TNNC1 and CKM genes are proposed as candidate genes for growth, loin eye muscle area and fatness traits, respectively.},
