The invention discloses a method for detecting polymorphism of multiple single nucleotides in a 5' control region of a cattle CIDEC
gene. The method comprises the following steps of: with a to-be-detected cattle complete
genome DAN containing a CIDEC
gene as a template and primer pairs P (P1, P2 and P3) as primers, performing amplification on the cattle CIDEC
gene; respectively digesting PCR amplification products with restriction enzymes such as HaeIII, AccI and HaeIII, then carrying out
agarose gel electrophoresis on a digested amplified fragment, and identifying polymorphism of single nucleotides at a 974th site, a 956th site and a 501st site of the CIDEC gene of the cattle according to results of
agarose gel electrophoresis, wherein polymorphism of the single
nucleotide at the 956th site is also the polymorphism of single nucleotides at a 841st site, a 763rd site, 727th site and a 546th site, the polymorphism of the single
nucleotide at the 501st site is also the polymorphism of a single
nucleotide at a 643rd site owning to
complete linkage, and thus polymorphism information of nine sites can be obtained by detecting polymorphism of three sites. The detection method provided by the invention lays a foundation for establishing a relation between the polymorphism of single nucleotides of the CIDEC gene and growth traits, so as to be convenient for
marker assisted selection (MAS) on the growth traits for cattle beef in China, and a cattle
population with excellent
genetic resources can be quickly established.
