Introduction Sequencing and Discovery of HH1
• 50K genotypes were used for haplotype discovery. Methods tested on
Brachyspina.
• Numbers of expected homozygous animals were calculated using real matings
and ranged from 7 to 90 for haplotypes examined further.
• Fertility records were used to confirm lethality, the number of carrier x carrier
matings ranged from 936 to 52,449.
• 5 haplotypes, named by breed and number within breed, (Table 1) were
confirmed to be lethal with affects on conception rate (CR) ranging from 3.0% to
3.7%.
• CR loss occurs <60 days HH3 and JH1, <100 days for HH2, and throughout
gestation for HH1 (Figure 1).
Conclusions
Fine Mapping the Haplotypes
Objectives
• Locate haplotypes with significant expected homozygous animals but none
observed.
• Narrow down suspect region using fine mapping.
• Use sequence data to locate the causative mutation within the fine mapped
region.
• Explore ways to use causative mutation test results in the future.

• Source haplotype is ~75 markers or ~ 5 Mb.
• Only used crossovers between a 50K animal and a 50K parent.
• Animals that have the source haplotype and a crossover of the source haplotype
were used for fine mapping.
• Interval that never becomes homozygous in live animals is the suspect region.
• Haplotypes narrowed down to a suspect region ranging from 4.5 Mb for BH1 to
0.8 Mb for JH1 (Figure 2).
Finding Haplotypes Affecting Fertility
• HH1 fine mapped to 3.2 Mb suspect region.
• Founder bull (Chief) and 3 sons (Mark, Ivanhoe Chief, and Valiant) were
sequenced by U. Illinois.
• Sequence analysis found 12 candidate SNPs but only 3 exonic. The suspect
allele for a SNP in gene APAF1 produces a stopgain mutation in its
homozygous recessive state.
• APAF1 knockout also causes embryonic loss in mice.
• 758 animals, including 486 HH1 carriers, were selected for APAF1 validation
genotyping.
• Concordance was 100% between HH1 carrier status and APAF1 mutation
carrier status.

Figure 2. Fine Mapping of JH1.
• 5 haplotypes affecting fertility have been reported to breeders since August
2011.
• Suspect regions narrowed using crossovers.
• Sequence data revealed the causative mutations for 2 of the 5, located in
APAF1 for HH1 and CWC15 for JH1.
• Imputation can combine information from both SNPs and QTLs to determine
status.
• Mating of heterozygotes should be avoided.
Tracking Known Recessives
• Located the source haplotype for 3 BS and 3 HO known recessives
(Table 2).

Imputing Causative Mutations
• Carriers can be determined by haplotypes, gene tests, or combining and
imputing.
• For JH1 730 causative mutation test results were used to impute test
results for 6,784 50K animals.
• Causative mutation test results were also imputed for the HO known
recessives CVM, BLAD and DUMPS; 84,713, 83,694 and 92,234 tests were
imputed respectively.
• New carrier animals were discovered through imputation; 2,176 for CVM ,
332 for BLAD and 3 for DUMPS.
• Large numbers of genotyped animals and affordable DNA sequencing now allow
rapid discovery of new recessive defects.
• Breeders can use haplotype tests or gene tests in selection and mating programs.
• JH1 fine mapped to 0.8 Mb suspect region.
• Founder bull (Soldier) and 10 other carriers sequenced at 30X coverage by
BFGL with funding from American Jersey Cattle Association.
• 15 candidate SNPs found but only 1 exonic.
• Causative mutation (stopgain) was found in CWC15 gene.
• 758 animals, including 486 JH1 carriers, were selected for CWC15 validation
genotyping.
• Concordance was 99.3% between JH1 carrier status and CWC15 mutation
carrier status.
HH2, HH3, BH1 Sequencing
• These methods were automated to update the suspect region and report
haplotypes monthly.
• Breeders receive official haplotype status for all genotyped animals (3K are
unofficial).
• Sequenced exome (expressed DNA) for 8 carriers of each defect.
• Causative mutations are not obvious yet.
• BH1 includes 2 consecutive SNPs that never become homozygous. Some
genomic evaluations may exclude these because of Hardy-Weinberg edits, but
could indicate location of defect.
