Phenotypes
Abortion (embryonic lethality), RABGGTB-related
Charlier et al. (2016): missense p.Tyr195Cys
Brachyspina — Haplotype HH0
Using mate-pair libraries from one affected and three controls, Charlier et al. (2012) obtained around 3.4Gb of sequence from each animal. Comparison of sequence in the candidate BTA21 region "revealed a 3.3 Kb deletion removing exons 25–27 of the 37 composing the FANCI (Fanconi anemia complementation-group I) gene". Noting that the carrier frequency is far too high (up to 7.4%) to be consistent with a relatively rare autosomal recessive disor...
Hypotrichosis, streaked — Streaked hairlessness
Murgiano et al. (2015) investigated a family of Pezzata Rossa cattle with 4 affected cows. The pedigree was suggestive of X-linked semi-dominant inheritance with lethality in hemizygous mutant males. Two autosomal segments on chromosome 7 and 14 also showed positive LOD scores in a linkage analysis and could not definitively be excluded. Whole genome sequencing of one affected cow at 28x coverage and comparison to the 1000 bull genomes' sequen...
Osteogenesis imperfecta, type II, COL1A1-related
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...
