Molecular Genetics

Exome sequencing in the candidate region (see Mapping section) of 2 affected, one carrier and one homozygous normal animal enabled Hirano et al. (2013) to identify the causal mutation as a missense mutation (c.235G>C; p.Val79Leu) in the IARS gene which encodes isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase. Hirano et al. (2016) reported that "the [above] homozygous IARS mutation not only causes calf death, but also embryonic or fetal death.
