  • Descrição: Summary The Wagyu breed of taurine cattle possess favourable genetics for intramuscular fat (IMF) but genomic loci associated with the trait remain under characterised. Here, we report the identification of a previously unidentified genomic region possessing a particular haplotype structure in Wagyu. Through deployment of a genome‐wide haplotype detection analysis that captures regions conserved in a target population but not other populations we screened 100 individual Wagyu and contrasted them with 100 individuals from two independent comparison breeds, Charolais and Angus, using high‐density SNPs. An extreme level of Wagyu conservation was assigned to a single genomic window (spanning genomic coordinates BTA28:41 088–300 265 bp). In fact, a five‐SNP region spanning 27 096 bp is almost perfectly conserved among the 100 Wagyu individuals assayed and partially overlaps RAB4A. Focussing in, two consecutive SNPs (genomic coordinates 236 949 and 239 950) are apparently fixed within the Wagyu (BB and AA respectively), but at mixed frequencies in the other two breeds. These SNPs are located in the two introns straddling exon 7. In a separate analysis using the 1000 Bulls database, we found that, coincident with exon 7 of RAB4A first allele frequencies were highest in the high IMF Japanese Native (Wagyu) breeds (0.78) and lowest in the low IMF indicine breeds (Nelore and Brahman), with intermediate marbling breeds (Angus and Charolais) assigned intermediate rankings (0.42). RAB4A is known to encode a protein that regulates intracellular trafficking of the insulin‐regulated glucose transporter GLUT4. RAB4A can be considered an attractive new positional candidate for IMF development.
