Estimation of genotype distributions and posterior genotype probabilities for beta-mannosidosis in Salers cattle.

Abstract excerpt

beta-Mannosidosis is a lethal lysosomal storage disease inherited as an autosomal recessive in man, cattle and goats. Laboratory assay data of plasma beta-mannosidase activity represent a mixture of homozygous normal and carrier genotype distributions in a proportion determined by genotype frequency. A maximum likelihood approach employing data transformations for each genotype distribution and assuming a...
