Summary
Hiltpold et al. (2000, 20021) report several candidate genes and propose likely causal variants with an impact on male fertility in Brown Swiss cattle. Abdollahi-Arpanahi et al.(2021) "identified a set of high-impact mutations in low-fertility bulls, including nonsense, missense, and frameshift variants. Some of these mutations may be considered as strong candidate causal variants for bull subfertility.... Genes affected by these candidate causal variants include AK9, TTLL9, TCHP, and FOXN4." O’Callaghan et al. (2023) confirmed that the suspected AK9 variant is causal: see OMIA:002788-9913 : Male subfertility, AK9-related in Bos taurus for details.
