Single nucleotide polymorphisms in immunity-related genes and their association with mastitis in Chilean dairy cattle

A. M. Carvajal, Huircan, P., and Lepori, A., Single nucleotide polymorphisms in immunity-related genes and their association with mastitis in Chilean dairy cattle, vol. 12, pp. 2702-2711, 2013.

Mastitis remains a major cattle disease with great global economic implications. Various approaches are currently employed in attempts to improve understanding of mastitis resistance and develop phenotypic markers for use in breeding programs (e.g., somatic cell score), including QTL discovery, wide-genome association studies, and identification of candidate genes related to immune function.
