616676

Species-specific name:
Also known as Curly coat
Inheritance:
Eldridge et al. (1949) tentatively concluded that this trait could be single-locus dominant, but they could not rule out another possibility requiring two loci. Their data justified the tentativeness of their conclusion.
Mapping:
Utilising imputation of sequence variants from the 1000-bull-genome project into each of 3,222 Fleckvieh bulls, each of which had been assessed for the proportion of daughters showing the curly hair trait, Daetwyler et al. (2014) mapped this trait to clusters of keratin genes on chromosomes BTA5 and BTA19.
Molecular basis:
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) compared with straight-hair breeds.
Braun et al. (2018) reported the same variant as being causal in German Angus cattle.

Variants
By default, variants are sorted chronologically by year of publication, to provide a historical perspective. Readers can re-sort on any column by clicking on the column header. Click it again to sort in a descending order. To create a multiple-field sort, hold down Shift while clicking on the second, third etc relevant column headers.
WARNING! Inclusion of a variant in this table does not automatically mean that it should be used for DNA testing. Anyone contemplating the use of any of these variants for DNA testing should examine critically the relevant evidence (especially in breeds other than the breed in which the variant was first described). If it is decided to proceed, the location and orientation of the variant sequence should be checked very carefully.
