Abstract: To study the susceptibility of ATG16L1 gene to non- specific digestive disorder (NSDD) in rabbit, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of rabbit ATG16L1 gene was firstly detected by PCR- HRM and the associa- tion analysis of ATG16L1 gene mRNA expression in colon of fibre- deficient diet group was conducted.The results found that there was a SNP locus (c. 1482 G > A) in ATG16L1 gene and the SNP locus was associated with the sus- ceptibility to NSDD; the allele A of c. 1482 G > A could increase the susceptibility (OR = 1. 43, 95% confidence interval: 1. 08- 1. 91, P < 0. 05); in recessive genetic model,the genotype AA could increase the susceptibility (OR = 1. 69,95% confidence interval: 1.05- 2.78,P < 0.05); along with the increasing severity of non- specific digestive disorder, the ATG16L1 gene mRNA expression in colon was gradually increased (P < 0.05); genotype AA had the lowest mRNA expression in fibre- deficient diet group (P < 0.05) .These results showed that ATG16L1 gene was associated with the genetic susceptibility to NSDD in rabbit.
