Abbitt et al. (1991) reported that bovine beta-mannosidosis, a lysosomal storage disease, is caused by a deficiency of beta-mannosidase. Affected neonatal calves are unable to rise with intention tremors, hidebound skin, slightly domed calvaria, slight prognathism, and narrow palpebral fissures. Their postmortem findings included variable dilatation of the lateral cerebral ventricles, marked pallor and paucity of white matter of the cerebrum a...

On the strength of a clear candidate gene in which mutations cause the same disorder in dogs (OMIA 001003-9615), Boudreaux et al. (2007) reported that this disorder in a Simmental calf is due to a missense mutation (c.701T>C) in the CalDAG-GEFI gene which is now called RASGRP2. Jansen et al. (2013) reported that "Sanger sequencing confirmed that all thrombopathic animals are homozygous for the [same] pertinent amino acid exchange (c.701T &g...
