Genetic disease is an illness caused by inborn abnormalities in genes or chromosomes,
which are quite rare. The genetic diseases in dairy and beef cattle are tissue specific viz; …

This review addresses the concept of genetic load from the point of view of molecular
genetics, development and efforts in selective breeding. As typical examples, the …

Two inherited lethal disorders, bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD) and complex
vertebral malformation (CVM), play a major role in breeding of Holstein cattle. Both inherited …

In this study 170 Holstein cows reared in the Bursa Region of Turkey were screened in order
to detect four autosomal recessive genetic diseases, ie, BLAD, DUMPS, citrullinamia and …

BLAD and CVM are Holstein-specific recessive mutations which have had significant
economic impact on dairy cattle breeding worldwide. The aim of this study was to optimize a …

Genetic disorders are caused by a hereditary change in the structure of DNA that may hurt
the health and life of animals. Several recessive haplotypes and a few causative mutations …

Bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD) is an autosomal recessive disease. Affected
animals die because of extreme susceptibility to infections caused by the lack of a …
