A 14/28 dicentric Robertsonian translocation in a Holstein cow.
A new dicentric Robertsonian translocation is described in a Holstein cow. The translocation appears to have arisen spontaneously from the centric fusion of autosomal acro centrics 14 and 28 which resulted in a diploid chromosome number of 59. Behavioral and phenotypic anomalies of the affected cow are discussed.
