title: A new case of rob(14;17) in cattle.
abstract: Robertsonian translocations, also called centric fusions, represent the most frequent chromosome anomalies in cattle, and rob(1;29) is the most widespread. However, centric fusions involving other chromosomes have been discovered in different cattle breeds. Here we report the appearance of a new case of rob(14;17) in an Italian cattle breed more than ten years after the first and only case had been observed, and we demonstrate the independent origin of this anomaly from the previous case.
