Description
Shayan Boozarjomehri Amnieh and co-authors study a gene called ACOX1 in horses kept in Iran, in a 2024 paper. The gene helps the body burn fatty acids. One variant of it is linked to higher enzyme activity and to how horses handle hard exercise and stress. The team asked how this variant is spread across six horse breeds.
The team tested DNA from 324 horses. Three gene forms appeared. One form dominated in Kurdish and Arabian horses. Another form was most common in Turkmen and Thoroughbred horses. The spread differed clearly by breed, but not by sex. The authors suggest the gene may be shaped by selection for breed traits. They propose it as a possible marker for performance and hardiness in breeding plans.
