DUMPS cattle carry a point mutation in the uridine monophosphate synthase gene.

Abstract excerpt

Deficiency of uridine monophosphate synthase (DUMPS) is a monogenic autosomal recessive disorder in cattle, resulting in early embryonic death of homozygous offspring. To identify the mutation responsible for DUMPS, liver RNA from identified, DUMPS heterozygous animals from the Holstein and Red Holstein breeds was reverse transcribed. Amplification of cDNA with sequence-specific primers and subsequent sequencing...
