OMIA 001529-9913 : Coat colour, dominant red in Bos taurus |
Dorshorst et al. (2015) propose "that the Dominant Red locus is designated DR with two alleles, the derivative allele DR^DR and the ancestral or wild-type allele DR^+".
Mapping: Dreger and Schmutz (2010) excluded linkage of this trait with polymorphisms in some of the common coat-colour genes, namely melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), agouti signalling protein (ASIP), attractin (ATRN) and melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A). However, linkage with microsatellites near, and SNPs within the 5' UTR of, another comparative candidate coat-colour gene (beta-defensin 103; DEFB103), located on chromosome BTA27, was detected.Using SNP-chip genotypes of Holsteins from the shared national resource maintained by the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB; Reynoldsburg, Ohio), Lawlor et al. (2013) identified a haplotype at 8-12 Mb on chromosome BTA3 that co-segregates with this trait. While this results appears to contradict the earlier linkage result, it is known that there are many defensin genes/pseudogenes scattered throughout the bovine genome, and it is possible that the earlier results actually involved a defensin-like sequence on BTA3.
Using "31 cases and 36 control relatives", each genotyped with the Illumina BovineSNP50 chip, Capitan et al. (2014)/Bourneuf et al. (2017) confirmed and detaileded the location of this trait to a 4.6Mb region on chromosome BTA3: 7,906,099-12,475,989.
Dorshorst et al. (2015) used linkage mapping and GWAS to also confirm the BTA3 map location.
Molecular basis: By comparing whole-genome sequence of a small number of Holsteins having the trait, with sequence data from hundreds of control animals, Capitan et al. (2014) confirmed the mapping results of Lawlor et al. (2014) and identified the causal mutation as a de novo variant BTA3 g.C9479761T, which corresponds to a missense mutation p.R160C in the COPA gene that encodes coatomer protein complex, subunit alpha.By whole-genome sequencing of a Dominant Red heterozygote, Dorshorst et al. (2015) confirmed this causal mutation (c.478C>T; p.Arg160Cys).
The results of Capitan et al. (2014) were formally published by Bourneuf et al. (2017).

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.
