A total of 9 SNPs located in TFRC and ACK1 genes of SSC13q41 genomic region were examined for their association with the adhesion pattern of native Indian pigs using local isolate of diarrhoeagenic E. coli. Phenotypic evaluation of adhesion pattern of 150 pigs revealed 116 animals positive for adhesion, whereas 34 animals had non-adhesive phenotype. Among the adhesive animals, 6, 87 and 23 pigs were strongly adhesive, weakly adhesive and adhesive, respectively. PCR–RFLP study revealed 8 polymorphic SNPs with low to moderate PIC ranging from 7.39 to 37.25% and low to high heterozygosities (8–70%). The loci g.291 C > T, rs81218930 C > T, rs318751568 C > T of TFRC and g.93222 C > A g.94600 C > T of ACK1 showed significant departure from HWE. The genotypic frequencies of the SNPs as well as the haplotypes did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) across the adhesion patterns except one SNP (ACK1-g.107371 A > C). Among the g.107371 A > C genotypes observed, CA was associated with non-adhesive phenotype. Furthermore, TFRC mRNA expression levels were found to be significantly (P < 0.05) different among various adhesive phenotypes, whereas that of ACK1 was significantly (P < 0.05) different between non-adhesive and adhesive groups. The significant association of SNP (ACK1-g.107371 A > C), which was also previously reported to influence ETECF4 mediated diarrhoea susceptibility, implicates its wider application in genetic control of piglet diarrhoea. Furthermore, the up-regulation of TFRC gene expression in adhesive group supports its proposed role in activation of immune cells against E. coli and intracellular iron transport.
