Khalaj et al. (2009): "A nucleotide substitution of T to A resulting in an amino acid substitution of leucine to histidine (p.Leu2153His) was identified in a highly conserved residue in the C1 domain of factor VIII. Genotyping of 254 normal animals including the pedigree of the affected animals and randomly sampled animals of different breeds confirmed that the substitution is the causative mutation of cattle haemophilia A." Analysis of whole-...

As reported by Schwarzenbacher et al. (2016),"Homozygous calves suffer from chronic airway disease resulting in poor growth performance and high juvenile mortality. The respiratory manifestations resemble key features of diseases resulting from impaired function of airway cilia." As pointed out carefully by Schwarzenbacher et al. (2016), not all homozygotes die, i.e. the lethal allele has incomplete penetrance.

Besnard et al. (2023) "present a data-mining framework designed to detect recessive defects in livestock that have been previously missed due to a lack of specific signs, incomplete penetrance, or incomplete linkage disequilibrium. This approach leverages the massive data generated by genomic selection. Its basic principle is to compare the observed and expected numbers of homozygotes for sliding haplotypes in animals with different life histo...

Jacinto et al. (2025) investigated two aborted half-sib Stabiliser calves with osteogenesis imperfecta. Whole genome sequencing identified a likely "heterozygous missense variant in exon 21 of [the functional candidate gene] COL1A2, located in the triple-helical region (Chr4:g.11792118G > A; c.1156G > A; p.Gly386Arg) [omia.variant:1837]. ... The variant may be a de novo mutation inherited from a germinal mosaic sire."

Bourneuf et al. (2017): a de novo likely causal variant is COL1A1 p.1049_1050delinsS in Fleckvieh Petersen et al. (2019): "Whole-genome sequencing revealed the presence of a missense mutation in the alpha 1 chain of collagen Type I (COL1A1), for which both calves were heterozygous. The variant resulted in the substitution of a glycine residue with serine in the triple helical domain of the protein; in this region, glycine normally occupies eve...

Genotyping of the three affected daughters with a 777,000 SNP chip, combined with whole-genome sequencing of one of the affected daughters, enabled Capitan et al. (2012) to identify the causative mutation as a 3.7Mb deletion encompassing the genes ARHGAP15, GTDC1 and ZEB2. Comparison with the homologous human disorder (see MIM entry above) implied that the syndrome is primarily due to the deletion of ZEB2. Gerhke et al. (2020) identified "an 1...

This single-locus autosomal dominant trait confers increased thermotolerance within the breeds in which it originated (Senepol and Carora; Olsen et al., 2003) and also within Hosteins, into which it was introgressed (Dikmen et al., 2008; 2014). In the USA, FDA determined in March 2022 that beef cattle with a genome edit to the PRLR gene and their offspring do not raise any safety concerns. "Based on the safety of consumption of meat from conve...
