Single-gene trait/disorder: unknown

Disease-related: yes

Cross-species summary: Affected animals die because of extreme susceptibility to infections, caused by an inability of white blood cells (leukocytes) to pass from the blood stream into infected tissue. This inability is due to the lack of a membrane glycoprotein called the leukocyte integrin beta-2 subunit or CD18.

Species-specific description: This disorder has not yet been reported in this species. The purpose of this entry is to record the study by Sharma et al. (2009) showing that none of the mutations in ITGB2 that cause the disorder in cattle, are present in the buffalo they sampled.
