Genetic polymorphisms within immunity-related candidate genes in pigs have been identified to control variations in immune functions and/or disease resistance. It has become necessary to evaluate the effects of other genetic markers of economically important traits prior to introducing them into marker-assisted selection programs. In this study, polymorphisms of porcine genes coding Interferon-induced Gunylate binding protein 1 (GBP1), GBP2, CD163, and CD169 were investigated for their association with growth and meat quality traits in a Korean native pig breed -Yorkshire inter-crossed F2 pig population (KY-F2). KY-F2 animals (n=346) have been successfully used for linkage mapping to identify quantitative loci that control meat quality, growth, and immunity traits. In our results, polymorphisms in genes GBP1 and GBP2 showed association with pig growth rate as well as meat quality traits such as crude fat, drip loss, and meat color (yellowness) in the KY-F2 population. The polymorphism in gene CD163 only showed association with crude fat, as a meat quality trait. CD169 gene was associated with pork tenderness. In conclusion, four immune-related genetic markers were validated for their association with growth and meat quality traits to gauge their potential use in a swine selection program. The results warrant further studies in other commercial pig populations.
