Molecular Genetics

By cloning and sequencing a very likely comparative candidate gene (based on the same disorder in humans), Shuster et al. (1992; PNAS) showed that this disorder in Holstein cattle is due to a missense mutation (c.383A>G) in the CD18 gene, now known as ITGB2. This mutation was confirmed in Daetwyler et al. (2014)'s analysis of whole-genome sequence data from 234 cattle, including key ancestors of the Holstein-Friesian, Fleckvieh and Jersey breeds: the c.383A>G mutation was identified in only four Holstein bulls in this study, each of which had previously been identified as a carrier.
