Fifty bulls were included in the analysis. Bulls were selected as having in the pedigree known carrier of MW. All bulls were diagnosed by DNA sequencing of CACNA1S gene containing single nucleotide substitution (rs3423414874) responsible for 97% of MW cases. Among 50 bulls, 19 MW carriers were found. Our results show that causal mutation for MW is already transmitted to Polish Holstein-Friesian cattle which is sufficient ground to take practical action in order to avoid further spreading of mutation causing MW.}, title={Muscle Weakness – new genetic defect transmitted to Polish Holstein-Friesian cattle}, type={Article}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/133662/PDF-MASTER/18%20_%20Kaminski%20_%20Short.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pjvs.2024.152956}, keywords={Holstein cattle, genetic defect, Muscle Weakness}, }
