Summary

Illustrating the enormous power of genomic tools, Wiedemar et al. (2015) were able to identify a likely causal mutation for a previously unrecorded disease phenotype in just a single calf.

Molecular Genetics

Wiedemar et al. (2015) reported a likely causal mutation: "a SNP replacing a thymine by a guanine on bovine chromosome 5 at bp-position 65,787,153. It was clearly identified as a de novo mutation as it was absent in both parents, but present in the calf . . . . Interestingly, this SNP situated in exon 13 of the myosin binding protein C slow type (MYBPC1) gene at position 885 of the open reading frame (c.885T>G) is predicted to lead to an amino acid exchange from leucine to arginine of the encoded MYBPC1 protein sequence at position 295 (p.Leu295Arg)".
