Description A study was conducted to explore genetic polymorphism in alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin gene and to elucidate the effect of polymorphism on milk production and constituent traits in Indian riverine buffaloes namely, Murrah, Bhadawari, Mehsana and Surti. Single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) was conducted on exon II of alpha-lactalbumin and exon I of beta-lactoglobulin gene. The study on alpha-lactalbumin gene revealed the presence of a number of genotypes namely, AB, AC, BB, BC, BD and BE in Mehsana; AC, BB, BC, BD, BE and CC in Surti; AC, BB, BC, BE and CC in Bhadawari and BC, BE, CC and CD in Murrah buffalo. In beta-lactoglobulin gene, genotypes like AA, BB, CC, AB and AC were observed in Murrah buffalo; AA, BB, AB and AC in Mehsana; AA, BB, CC, AB and AC in Surti and BB, CC, AB and AC in Bhadawari buffalo. All the alleles were sequenced and found to be differed at different locations. The alpha-lactalbumin genotypes had significant effect (P
