Article Synopsis
- The study highlights how domestication and selective breeding in cattle have led to the accumulation of harmful genetic mutations, which often go undetected due to the lack of observable symptoms.
- It identified 2,489 potentially harmful genetic variants across 15 European bovine breeds, especially affecting genes related to nervous and sensory systems.
- The research further delves into a specific mutation in the retinitis pigmentosa-1 gene that causes blindness in Normande cattle, which was more prevalent in the past but has decreased due to negative effects on udder health.
