Inheritance

Eusebi et al. (2022) conducted a detailed pedigree analysis which suggested an "hypothesis of a variant that severely affects the function of a major gene following a classic Mendelian recessive mode of inheritance".

Molecular Genetics

Eusebi et al. (2022): "Whole genome resequencing of three affected calves and three putative non-carrier parents identified a novel missense variant (c.149G>A|p.Cys50Tyr) in exon 2 of the endothelin 2 (EDN2) gene. Bioinformatic analyses of p.Cys50Tyr effects predicted them to be damaging for both the structure and the function of the edn2 protein, and to create a new site of splicing that may also affect the pattern of pre-mRNA splicing and exon definition. Sanger sequencing of this variant on the rest of the sample set confirmed the segregation pattern obtained with whole genome re-sequencing".
