Agerholm et al. (2016): "a single base deletion in the first exon of CHRNB1 (c.55delG) introducing a premature stop codon (p.Ala19Profs47*) in the second exon, truncating 96 % of the protein."

Curly coat, karakul-type — Also known as Curly coat
Excluding variants found in breeds that do not show this trait, Daetwyler et al. (2014) narrowed the field down to "a missense mutation in KRT27 (c.276C>G; p.Asn92Lys; g.41636961C>G on BTA19; ss699911276)". Strong supporting evidence of the causality of this mutation was found by studying its presence in numerous bulls of the Montbeliarde breed (in which the trait occurs, and which, like Fleckvieh, derives from the Simmental breed) compa...

In a neat piece of comparative detective work, Lunden et al. (2002; Genome Research 12:1885-1888) investigated whether the fishy off-flavour occasionally reported in cow's milk could be an animal model of fish-odor syndrome in humans, an inborn error of metabolism characterised by a fishy body odor, and known to be due to mutations in the gene for flavin-containing mono-oxygenase 3 (FMO3). They were able to show that this is, indeed, the case:...
