ABSTRACT
Objective. The aim of this paper is to analyze the frequency of the mdr1-1D mutation of the MDR1 gene in a dog sample of the Uruguayan Cimarron breed with the objective of increasing the knowledge of this breeds genome. Materials and methods. Thirty-six animals of this breed were analyzed. The MDR1 gene region, which includes the location where the mutation would be present, was amplified by PCR. Results. The mutation was not detected in any of the analyzed Uruguayan Cimarron. Conclusions. The lack of described ivermectin intoxication cases in veterinary clinic in this breed is explained by the lack of the mutation object of this study. The sequence studied in Cimarron dogs is kept compared to other breeds, except Collies and related breeds (Border Collie, Bearded Collie, Old English sheepdog).
Objetivo. El propósito de este trabajo fue analizar la frecuencia de la mutación mdr1-1D del gen MDR1 en una muestra de perros de raza Cimarrón Uruguayo con el fin de profundizar en el conocimiento del genoma del animal. Materiales y métodos. Se analizaron treinta y seis animales de la raza mencionada. La región del gen MDR1 que incluiría la mutación se amplificó por PCR. Resultados. En los perros cimarrones analizados no se detectó la mutación mencionada. Conclusiones. La ausencia de la mutación estudiada explicaría el hecho de que no se hayan descrito casos de intoxicación por ivermectina en esta raza. La secuencia en el perro Cimarrón es conservada respecto de otras razas caninas, excepto Collie y sus derivadas.

Objetive. To analyze the population structure, using microsatellite markers in a sample of Cimarron Uruguayo dogs. Materials and methods. Thirty dogs were analyzed in different areas of Uruguay with a set of nine molecular microsatellite markers using PCR. The population structure was analyzed using the free distribution software Structure. Results. According to our data, the preliminary results show that it is not possible to establish a subdivision among the animals in the sample. Conclusions. The study supports the hypothesis that the currently existing canines derive from a founding nucleus that took refuge in the Northeastern region of the country. The distribution of the breed among the different areas of Uruguay continues nowadays, so there is no isolation among the different groups of animals, and the exchange is constant.

Objective. To analyze the genetic variability in two populations of the native canine breed "Uruguayan Cimarron" from different areas of the country. Materials and methods. DNA was isolated from 40 animals of the Cimarron breed. Using PCR, 11 RAPD (random amplified polymorphism of DNA) molecular markers were analyzed. Results. 14.9% of loci were polymorphic. We found an index of shared bands of 0.91, a genetic distance of 0.16 and a Nei's average diversity index of 0.08. Conclusions. Both populations present a high homogeneity and genetic identity for these markers suggesting that they belong to a common genetic nucleus.
Objetivo. Analizar la variabilidad genética en dos poblaciones de caninos de la raza autóctona "Cimarrón uruguayo" provenientes de distintas zonas del País. Materiales y métodos. Se aisló ADN de 40 animales de la raza Cimarrón. Mediante la técnica de PCR se analizaron 11 marcadores moleculares RAPD (amplificación al azar de ADN polimórfico). Resultados. Se detectó un 14.9% de loci polimórficos. Se obtuvo un índice de bandas compartidas de 0.91, una distancia genética de 0.16 e índice promedio de diversidad de Nei's de 0.08. Conclusiones. Ambas poblaciones presentan una alta homogeneidad e identidad genética para estos marcadores y pertenecerían a un núcleo genético común.
