The nucleotide sequences in exon 7 of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-1(ADAMTS-1)gene in Landrace pig were obtained with cloning and sequencing by using PCR-RFLP technique in this experiment.Sequence alignment results showed that the C/G substitution in exon 7 induced amino acid change(Arg → Pro).AA,BB and AB genotypes were found in Landrace pig by PvuⅡ-RFLP.Correlation analysis between genotypes and reproductive traits indicated that ADAMTS-1 was significantly correlated with litter size(LS)and number born alive(NBA).
