Copy number variations in BOLA-DQA2, BOLA-DQB, and BOLA-DQA5 show the genomic architecture and haplotype frequency of major histocompatibility complex class II genes in Holstein cows.

Abstract excerpt

Bovine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II region contains many genes. The bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA)-DRB3 was reportedly associated with susceptibility of various phenotypes of infections including bovine leukemia virus-induced lymphoma. However, the association of the remaining genes with various phenotypes has not been clarified due to the complicated genomic structure of the MHC class II...
