A missense mutation in TUBD1 is associated with high juvenile mortality in Braunvieh and Fleckvieh cattle
25 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Haplotypes with reduced or missing homozygosity may harbor deleterious alleles that compromise juvenile survival. A scan for homozygous haplotype deficiency revealed a short segment on bovine chromosome 19 (Braunvieh haplotype 2, BH2) that was associated with high juvenile mortality in Braunvieh cattle. However, the molecular genetic underpinnings and the pathophysiology of BH2 remain to be...
