Abstract
Lipids consumed with milk derivatives are one of the main parts of the human diet. Trans fatty acids in milk are causing a debate about their impact on the incidence of cardiovascular disease, pathological abnormalities, and cancer. The fatty acid profile of milk is influenced by a large number of different factors, one of which is genetic. The development of genetic studies, including Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), may help define genomic regions associated with fatty acid content in milk, including trans fatty acids. This article provides an overview of international studies on the identification of genomic regions and SNPs associated with the trans fatty acids in cow’s milk. The results are based on research of cattle such as Norwegian Red cattle, Holstein, Jersey, and Brown Swiss. The presented review shows that 68 SNPs were localized on chromosomes 1, 2, 4–6, 8–10, 12, 14–20, 22–25, and 27–29. Further research in this direction will provide new information that will serve as an impetus for the creation of modern breeding technologies and increase the performance of the manufacture of high-quality dairy products. The search for genetic markers associated with the content of TFA in milk is a promising direction in agricultural science and will allow more complete breeding work with cattle.
