摘要
Summary Embryo loss is an important factor affecting fertility in dairy production. HH2 was identified as a haplotype on chromosome 1 associated with embryonic lethality in Holstein cattle. In the current study, both short‐ and long‐read WGS was performed on four carriers and four non‐carriers of HH2 to screen for variants in concordance with HH2 haplotype status. Sequence variation analysis revealed five putative functional variants of protein‐coding genes, including a frameshift mutation (g.107172616delT) in intraflagellar transport protein 80 ( IFT80 ) gene. Transcriptome analysis of whole blood indicated that no gene exhibited significantly differential expression or allele‐specific expression between carriers and non‐carriers in the candidate region. This evidence points to g.107172616delT as the highest priority causative mutation for HH2. Protein prediction reveals that the frameshift mutation results in a premature stop codon to reduce the peptide chain from 760 to 383 amino acids and greatly alters the structure and function of IFT80 protein. Our results demonstrate that the use of a combination of multiple high‐throughput sequencing technologies is an efficient strategy to screen for the candidate causative mutations responsible for Mendelian traits, including genetic disorders.
