  1. The RP1 frameshift allele was absent from the Brown Swiss (n = 59), Finnish red (n = 25), Hereford (n = 34), Jersey (n = 60), Limousine (n = 33), Montbéliarde (n = 28), Simmental (n = 215) and Swedish Red (n = 31) breeds, which each totalized more than 20 animals in run4 of the 1000 bull genomes project and from 12 additional breeds, which each totalized less than 20 animals
