This study aims to determine the genetic correlation using nine microsatellite markers to reconstruct the history of some indigenous geese populations, along with the use of four single nucleotides polymorphisms (SNPs) to investigate their correlation with the geese body weight. Microsatellite markers are mainly used to provide updated information on changes in the population structure of geese breeds. The eight goose populations reported 24% private alleles specific for each population. Expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.46 to 0.70. Three breeds were reported highly polymorphic. Inbreeding coefficient (Fis) revealed that three breeds were in a minimum level of extinction danger, while one breed was in a potential endangered situation. Phylogenetic tree, principal component analysis (PCA), and self-organizing map (SOM) were constructed using MATLAB to study the population distribution and relationship among these breeds. Four SNPs were detected, two SNPs at GH gene exon (C123T and C158T), and two SNPs at Pit-1 gene exons (G161A and T282G). Four SNP loci were reported to have a significant effect on geese body weight. They were CT genotype for C123T locus, TT genotype for C158T locus, GG genotype for G161A locus, and GG genotype for T282G locus.
