OMIA:001022-9913 : Twinning in Bos taurus (taurine cattle) |
In other species: ass (donkey) , horse , mule
Categories: Reproductive system phene
Mendelian trait/disorder: no
Disease-related: no
Key variant known: no
Species-specific description: see also: OMIA 001943-9913 : Fecundity, generic in Bos taurus
Mapping: Widmer et al. (2021) "identified a major QTL on chromosome 11 for maternal multiple birth that explains ~ 16% of the total genetic variance. Using a haplotype-based approach, this QTL was fine-mapped to a 70-kb window on chromosome 11 between 31.00 and 31.07 Mb that harbors two functional candidate genes (LHCGR and FSHR)."
Molecular basis: Widmer et al. (2021): "Analysis of whole-genome sequence data by linkage-disequilibrium estimation revealed a regulatory variant in the 5'-region of LHCGR as a possible candidate causal variant for the identified major QTL."
