Species-specific description: Sasaki et al. (2021): "To identify variants associated with calf mortality in Japanese Black cattle, we evaluated calf mortality as a categorical trait with a threshold model and performed a genome-wide copy number variation (CNV) association study on calf mortality. ... We identified a 44-kb deleted-type CNV ranging from 103,317,687 to 103,361,802 bp on chromosome 5, which was associated with the mortality of 1–180-day-old calves." Sasaki and Ibi (2021) also "evaluated calf mortality as a categorical trait using a threshold model and conducted a GWAS. We identified two SNPs between 32 549 297 and 32 606 924 bp on bovine chromosome 9 that were significantly associated with calf mortality from 61 to 180 days after birth. The SNP showing the highest association was localized at a region 624 bp downstream of exon 4 of the anti-silencing function 1A histone chaperone gene (ASF1A) ..." Cai et al. (2023): "To identify mutations and genes underlying young stock survival (YSS), we performed GWAS using de-regressed estimated breeding values of a YSS index and its component traits defined by sex and age in 3,077 Nordic Red Dairy Cattle (RDC) bulls and 2 stillbirth traits (first lactation and later lactations) in 5,141 RDC bulls. Two associated QTL regions on Bos taurus autosome (BTA) 4 and 6 were identified for the YSS index. ... The GWAS on stillbirth identified 3 additional QTL regions on BTA5, 14, and 24 compared with YSS and its component traits."

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
