Using a comparative candidate-gene strategy (based on the homologous disorder in other species), Kawakura et al. (1996) showed that the SRY gene was absent in three XY female cattle from Japan (one each of Holstein Friesian, Japanese Black and Jersey breed). The authors concluded that these cases of sex reversal were due to a deletion of the SRY gene.
