Summary
Jacinto et al. (2020) reported a "stillborn purebred Holstein male calf" with a "form of bovine achondrogenesis type II [OMIA 001926-9913] that occurred in combination with the perosomus elumbis (PE)" likely caused by a 6679bp deletion in the COL2A1 gene. This led them to "postulate the COL2A1 gene as a possible candidate gene for PE in cattle".
Inheritance
As reported by Agerholm et al. (2014), "Investigations into a possible genetic etiology of PE in cattle have not been reported, so a possible genetic etiology remains non-elucidated . . . "
