Species-specific description: Resistance to mastitis is a classic quantitative/multifactorial/complex trait. Typically it is quantified in terms of a somatic cell count (SCC) from a sample of milk. The trait is sufficiently heritable to have been included in many herd improvement programs around the world. In recent years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with SNP chips have begun to identify QTL for this trait. As yet there are no agreed quantitative trait nucleotides (QTN). Liu et al. (2014): "report the production of cloned cows carrying human lysozyme gene knock-in β-casein locus using ZFNs." This study involves genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Mapping: Lee et al. (2021) “a prominent CM [clinical mastitis] resistance QTL located on chromosome 6 was reported in various dairy cattle breeds. … Herein, we mapped, fine-mapped, and discovered the putative causal variant underlying this CM resistance QTL in the Dutch dairy cattle population. We identified a ~12 kb multi-allelic copy number variant (CNV), that is in perfect linkage disequilibrium with a lead SNP, as a promising candidate variant. By implementing a fine-mapping and through expression QTL mapping, we showed that the group-specific component gene (GC), a gene encoding a vitamin D binding protein, is an excellent candidate causal gene for the QTL. The multiplicated alleles are associated with increased GC expression and low CM resistance. Ample evidence from functional genomics data supports the presence of an enhancer within this CNV, which would exert cis-regulatory effect on GC.”

Genetic engineering: Yes - in addition to the occurrence of natural variants, variants have been created artificially, e.g. by genetic engineering or gene editing
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
