The small effective population size of Wagyu cattle, paired with the growing interest in the breed, has led to increased inbreeding. As inbreeding has increased, the emergence of deleterious traits (i.e., progressive bovine myeloenecphaly, factor XI deficiency, and spherocytosis) has increased. Cryptorchidism, when one or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum, can lead to reduced fertility and is observed more frequently in certain cattle lines suggesting a genetic component to the disorder. This study hypothesized that cryptorchidism is recessively inherited. To test this hypothesis, a population of 18 Wagyu cattle from an extended family was genotyped, and a haplotype and genome-wide association analysis was completed to identify genomic regions associated with cryptorchidism. There were 218 haplotypes that trended toward an association (P\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.05) though none were significant after multiple testing corrections were applied (false discovery rate &amp;lt;0.05). Two loci were associated (P\u2005&amp;lt;\u20051\u2005\u00d7\u200510\u22125) with cryptorchidism on BTA4 and BTA13 in a dominant inheritance model and one locus on BTA4 was associated in an additive model. While this study identified loci associated with cryptorchidism in cattle, due to the small sample size, additional animals need to be evaluated to identify and validate the genomic regions associated with cryptorchidism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skaf073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,9]],"date-time":"2025-03-09T04:52:36Z","timestamp":1741495956000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Short communication: exploring genetic associations with cryptorchidism in Wagyu cattle"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"Allison L","family":"Herrick","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, Washington State University , Pullman, WA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer N","family":"Kiser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington Animal Disease Diagnostics Laboratory , Pullman, WA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Holly","family":"Neibergs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, Washington State University , Pullman, WA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025042409112472800_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"104367","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejmg.2021.104367","article-title":"Molecular and clinical insights into complex genomic rearrangements related to MECP2 duplication syndrome","volume":"64","author":"Abdala","year":"2021","journal-title":"Eur.
