Molecular Genetics

By cloning and sequencing a very likely comparative candidate gene (based on the homologous human disorder), Dennis et al. (2000) identified two causal mutations in Brahman cattle, namely a frameshifting 2-bp deletion (c.1057delTA; the "E7" mutation) and a nonsense mutation (c.1783C>T; p.Arg595Ter; the "E13" mutation) in the bovine GAA gene; and a 2-bp frameshifting deletion (c.2454delCA; the "E18" mutation) in Shorthorns.

Genetic Test

Dennis et al. (2000) developed allele-specific amplification and double mismatch amplification procedures for genotyping the exon 18 alleles in the acidic alpha-glucosidase gene (Mohammad Shariflou 13/11/2006).
