Karyotyping of eight malformed calves resulted in the detection of trisomy 22 in one calf. This calf had a hernia umbilicalis, a urachus fistula, and slight brachygnathia inferior. This trisomy was not associated with lethality.
G-band karyotyping of 20 Alpine Grey AI bulls resulted in the detection of a reciprocal translocation 60,XY,t(8;15) (21;24) in 1 bull. The 60-90 days non-return rate of this translocation-bearing bull was very poor (25%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
