The application of reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography for the analysis of 116 Italian Mediterranean buffalo milk samples allowed us to find a non-allelic polymorphism at the level of αS1-CN and κ-CN loci. Duplicated and triplicate haplotypes were revealed by different proportions in the heterozygous forms of the A and B αS1-CN alleles and of κ-CN T (X1) and I (X2) alleles. Chromatographic profiles revealed that approximately 97.0% and 91.3% of the individuals exhibited the expected polymorphisms, as well as different aberrant patterns for αS1-CN and κ-CN (4 and 5 respectively). The current study contributes to the assessment of the genes involved in protein secretion and for inferring non-allelic polymorphisms through the characterisation of phenotypic expression.

Abstract
The application of reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography for the analysis of 116 Italian Mediterranean buffalo milk samples allowed us to find a non-allelic polymorphism at the level of αS1-CN and κ-CN loci. Duplicated and triplicate haplotypes were revealed by different proportions in the heterozygous forms of the A and B αS1-CN alleles and of κ-CN T (X1) and I (X2) alleles. Chromatographic profiles revealed that approximately 97.0% and 91.3% of the individuals exhibited the expected polymorphisms, as well as different aberrant patterns for αS1-CN and κ-CN (4 and 5 respectively). The current study contributes to the assessment of the genes involved in protein secretion and for inferring non-allelic polymorphisms through the characterisation of phenotypic expression.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
