OMIA 001991-9913 : Stillbirth in Bos taurus

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal Recessive Lethal

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Year key variant first reported: 2016

Mapping: From a GWAS on 4.631 Nordic Red bulls, Sahana et al. (2016) identified a QTL for birth index on chromosome BTA23. Further research indicated a deletion of approximately 500kb in the region 12.28Mb and 12.81Mb on BTA23, acting as an autosomal recessive lethal for still births. As reported by Sahana et al. (2016), three genes (BTBD9, GLO1 and DNAH8) are known to be located in the deleted region, but it was not evident why lack of any of these genes would result in still births.

Mesbah-Uddin et al. (2017) "identified and confirmed the breakpoint of [the above] ∼525 KB deletion on Chr23:12,291,761-12,817,087 (overlapping BTBD9, GLO1 and DNAH8)".

Prevalence: Wu et al. (2020) reported the frequency of a tag haplotype for this lethal effect as 4.1% in 19,309 Nordic Red Dairy cattle.

Breed: Nordic Red.

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.
