The chickens used for the study included exogenous Recessive White chicken and Chinese indigenous chicken breeds such as Silkies, Baier, Tibetan and Xiaoshan chickens. A pair of primer was designed to detect exon 2 of ADSL gene by PCR-SSCP and mutation detected was directly sequenced. A synonymous mutation at 3484 bp in exon 2 was substituted C/T SNP. In five chicken breeds, three genotypes TT, CT and CC were observed in exon 2. Muscle IMP content of individuals with TT genotype in exon 2 had significantly higher than those with CT and CC genotypes (p<0.05). In exon 2, Recessive White, Xiaoshan and Baier chickens were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p>0.05) and Silkies and Tibetan chickens were significant departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p<0.01).
