This study aimed to investigate the effects of polymorphisms in growth hormone 1 (GH1) gene on the growth traits in Chinese indigenous yak. Using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-PFLP) approach, one novel single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), termed as g.1721G>A, was identified in the exon 4 ofGH1gene in 423 individuals of yak population. Based on the chi-square (χ2) test, the frequencies of g.1721G>A alleles agreed with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (P< 0.05). A significant association was observed between this SNP and several growth traits (P< 0.01 orP< 0.05), in which the genotype GG exhibited the best values. The present study suggested that the identified SNP was a useful genetic marker for the improvement of growth traits in Chinese indigenous yak.
