Abstract
The present meta-analysis was planned to summarize the frequency and effects of A and B alleles of kappa casein gene on milk yield and composition traits by using information of 5715 genotyped cows from 42 published studies (2000 to 2020). The common effect sizes for gene frequency and association were considered as proportion and standardized mean differences (SMDs). Four genetic models viz., additive (AA vs. BB), dominant (AA+ AB vs. BB), completely over dominant (AA+BB vs. AB) and recessive (AA vs. AB+ BB) were used to compare the potential of genotypes in terms of SMDs along with 95% confidence interval (CI) for lactation milk yield and composition traits (fat yield, fat percentage, protein yield and protein percentage). The inconsistency between studies was estimated by heterogeneity statistic (I2). Meta-analysis of allelic frequency under random effects model showed that allele A was predominant as 0.71 (95% CI: 0.65, 0.76) in all genotyped cows. It was significantly higher gene frequency in 1834 Bos indicus cows (0.82, 95% CI: 0.77, 0.88) as compared to 3881 Bos taurus/cross cows (0.67, 95% CI: 0.61, 0.73), with substantial level of heterogeneity (92.73% to 97.68%). The results of association analysis showed that SMDs under all genetic models had significance (P < 0.05) with fat percentage only, with non-significant of heterogeneity (P > 0.05) between studies. For other composition traits and lactation milk yield, non-significant SMDs were observed with low to moderate heterogeneity index. There was not any risk of publication bias as confirmed from Egger's test (P > 0.05). It was concluded that significant molecular marker (allele B) of kappa casein can be used to improve milk fat percentage in dairy cows.

期刊介绍:
Meta Gene publishes meta-analysis, polymorphism and population study papers that are relevant to both human and non-human species. Examples include but are not limited to: (Relevant to human specimens): 1Meta-Analysis Papers - statistical reviews of the published literature of human genetic variation (typically linked to medical conditionals and/or congenital diseases) 2Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) - examination of large patient cohorts to identify common genetic factors that influence health and disease 3Human Genetics Papers - original studies describing new data on genetic variation in smaller patient populations 4Genetic Case Reports - short communications describing novel and in formative genetic mutations or chromosomal aberrations (e.g., probands) in very small demographic groups (e.g., family or unique ethnic group). (Relevant to non-human specimens): 1Small Genome Papers - Analysis of genetic variation in organelle genomes (e.g., mitochondrial DNA) 2Microbiota Papers - Analysis of microbiological variation through analysis of DNA sequencing in different biological environments 3Ecological Diversity Papers - Geographical distribution of genetic diversity of zoological or botanical species.
