Genomic architecture of hereditary defects in beef cattle populations: from molecular diagnostics to innovative therapy approaches (review)
The review article presents a comprehensive analysis of current data on hereditary anomalies in beef cattle breeds, including hypotrichosis (HY), dilutor (DL), idiopathic epilepsy (IE), mandibulofacial dysplasia (MD), and maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). The results of genomic studies that identified key mutations (in the KRT71, PMEL, CYP26C1, BCKDHA/BCKDHB genes) and their pleiotropic effects, impacting both phenotype and productive qualities of the animals, are summarized. Particular attention is paid to the dif …
