The present study was designed to characterize leptin gene and to search polymorphism in this gene of mithun. This is the first report on the identification of polymorphism in the leptin gene of mithun. The leptin gene was found to be polymorphic with respect to the locus studied in a sample size of 126 animals. The BB genotype was highly prevalent in the population with a allelic frequency of 0.8 of B allele. The comparison of nucleotide sequence revealed high similarity (98.9%) with Bos indicus and Bos taurus followed by Bos grunniens, Bubalus bubalis, Capra hircus and Ovis aries. Phylogenetic tree revealed that the Bos taurus and Bos indicus formed a cluster with a closer similarity to mithun followed by Bos grunniens, Bubalus bubalis, Capra hircus and Ovis aries respectively. The comparison of DNA sequences of 522 bp leptin gene fragment of mithun with other bovine species revealed 4 mutations, viz. 446 (A/G), 485 (C/T), 497 (C/T) and 512 (A/C) which differentiate this fragment from that of related large ruminants like Bos grunniens, Bos taurus and Bos indicus.
