DNA screening for hereditary goitre in Afrikander cattle.
DNA isolated from blood samples of Afrikander cattle (n = 66) were screened by blot-hybridisation analysis to determine the frequency of carriers of the goitre mutation. No carriers were found, suggesting that the frequency of the goitre mutation is less than 0.01.
