Abstract excerpt
The A2 β-casein variant has gained considerable interest in the dairy industry due to proposed health-related benefits, leading to an increasing frequency of the A2A2 genotype in dairy herds. Although the A1/A2 substitution in the β-casein gene (CSN2) does not directly affect gene regulation, previous transcriptomic studies have reported differences in mRNA isoform expression between A1A1 and A2A2 cows....
