Abstract
A total of 149 chickens from two, different sources (one non-commercial, the other commercial) was tested for variability of the LEI0258 microsatellite. Fifty-three genotypes, explainable by 15 alleles, were found. There are clear allele and heterozygosity differences between the two samples. One of them was simultaneously studied for the MHC B-F haplotypes. Strong genetic disequilibrium was observed between the variants of the two systems, therefore providing a cheap alternative for MHC genotyping. Copyright by the Brazilian Society of Genetics.
