BovinePNSTsshareseveralgrossandhistopathologicalcharacteristicswiththePNSTsinhumanswithheritableneurofibromatosissyndromes.
TheaimofthepresentstudywastoinvestigateapossiblehereditarydispositiontoPNSTsindairycattlebystatisticalanalysisperformedondatafrom567cattlewithPNSTs.
Furthermore,apreliminarygenome-wideassociationstudy(GWAS)wasperformedonDNAisolatedfrom28affectedand28non-affectedHolsteincowstoidentifylociinthebovinegenomeinvolvedinthedevelopmentofPNSTs.
Results:PNSTsweresignificantlymorecommonintheDanishHolsteinbreedthaninotherbreedswith0.
49%ofDanishHolsteinsslaughteredduringaneight-year-periodhavingPNSTs.
PNSTsalsooccurredsignificantlymorefrequentlyintheoffspringofsomespecificHolsteinsires.
ExaminationofthreegenerationpedigreesshowedthatthesesiresweregeneticallyrelatedthroughawidelyusedUSHolsteinsire.
ThePNSTsincludedinGWASwerehistologicallyclassifiedasneurofibroma-schwannoma(43%),schwannoma(36%)andneurofibroma(21%)andderivedfromHolsteincowswithmultiplePNSTs.
AsingleSNPonchromosome27reachedgenome-widesignificance.
Conclusions:GrossandhistologicalcharacteristicsofbovinePNSTsarecomparabletoPNSTsinhumans(schwannomatosis).
DanishHolsteinsaregeneticallydisposedtodevelopPNSTsbuttheexaminedmaterialsareinsufficienttoallowdeterminationofthemodeofinheritance.
