Материалом исследования послужили образцы крови 59 животных, отобранные с соблюдением этических норм. Лабораторные исследования проводили в аккредитованной лаборатории, где ДНК выделяли методом фенол‐хлороформной экстракции с последующей очисткой и спектрофотометрической оценкой качества. Генотипи‐ рование выполняли с использованием специфических праймеров и эндонуклеаз рестрикции с последующим электрофоретическим разделением продуктов реакции. Установлено преобладание гомозиготных генотипов по генам GH, CAST и GDF9, сопровождающееся высокой гомозиготностью и низкой полиморфной информативностью (PIC) по этим локусам. Напротив, локус KAP1.3 характеризовался повышенным уровнем генетического разнообразия и умеренной полиморфностью (PIC=0,375). Полученные данные позволяют сфокусировать подходы к использованию изученных генетических маркеров в селекционной работе без снижения генетического разнообразия поголовья.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The aim of this study was to investigate the polymorphism of the growth hormone GH, calpastatin CAST, growth and differentiation factor 9 GDF9, and keratin associated protein 1.3 KAP1.3 genes in a local indigenous sheep breed from Dagestan using polymerase chain reaction with restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis PCR RFLP. The material comprised blood samples from 59 animals collected in compliance with ethical standards. Laboratory analyses were carried out in an accredited laboratory, where genomic DNA was extracted by phenol chloroform extraction followed by purification and spectrophotometric quality assessment. Genotyping was performed using gene specific primers and restriction endonucleases followed by electrophoretic separation of the reaction products. A predominance of homozygous genotypes at the GH, CAST and GDF9 loci was observed, which was associated with high homozygosity and low polymorphic information content PIC for these loci. In contrast, the KAP1.3 locus showed an increased level of genetic diversity and moderate polymorphism with PIC equal to 0.375. These findings provide a basis for refining approaches to the use of these genetic markers in breeding programmes without reducing the genetic diversity of the population.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Локальная аборигенная порода Дагестана</kwd><kwd>генетическое разнообразие</kwd><kwd>кандидатные маркеры</kwd><kwd>адаптация</kwd><kwd>горно‐отгонное животноводство</kwd><kwd>пастбищные экосистемы</kwd><kwd>полиморфическая информативность (PIC)</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Local indigenous Dagestan sheep breed</kwd><kwd>genetic diversity</kwd><kwd>candidate markers</kwd><kwd>adaptation</kwd><kwd>mountain transhumant sheep farming</kwd><kwd>pasture ecosystems</kwd><kwd>polymorphic information content (PIC)</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Hassanane M.S., Salem M.H., Abdel-Rahman S.Z. et al.
