Below, for each tested locus, you will find the possible allele combinations that may be reported within this analysis, together with a brief explanation of their genetic meaning. The interpretation of possible interactions between different loci is included in the report, but is not shown here in full because that would lead to too many combinations on this page. The final expression may also depend on other genes and their interaction.
Beta-casein A1 allele (CSN2) - Cattle
Genotype / allele combination: No A1 allele detected
The A1 allele was not detected. This animal does not produce beta-casein A1 from the tested CSN2 profile and does not pass A1 to offspring.
Genotype / allele combination: One A1 allele detected
One copy of the A1 allele was detected. This animal produces beta-casein A1 in combination with the other CSN2 allele and can pass A1 to about half of its offspring.
Genotype / allele combination: Two A1 alleles detected
Two copies of the A1 allele were detected. This animal produces only this tested beta-casein variant and passes A1 to all offspring.
Beta-casein A2 allele (CSN2) - Cattle
Genotype / allele combination: No A2 allele detected
The A2 allele was not detected. This animal does not produce beta-casein A2 from the tested CSN2 profile and does not pass A2 to offspring.
Genotype / allele combination: One A2 allele detected
One copy of the A2 allele was detected. This animal produces beta-casein A2 in combination with the other CSN2 allele and can pass A2 to about half of its offspring.
Genotype / allele combination: Two A2 alleles detected
Two copies of the A2 allele were detected. This animal produces only this tested beta-casein variant and passes A2 to all offspring.
Beta-casein A3 allele (CSN2) - Cattle
Genotype / allele combination: No A3 allele detected
The A3 allele was not detected. This animal does not produce beta-casein A3 from the tested CSN2 profile and does not pass A3 to offspring.
Genotype / allele combination: One A3 allele detected
One copy of the A3 allele was detected. This animal produces beta-casein A3 in combination with the other CSN2 allele and can pass A3 to about half of its offspring.
Genotype / allele combination: Two A3 alleles detected
Two copies of the A3 allele were detected. This animal produces only this tested beta-casein variant and passes A3 to all offspring.
Beta-casein B allele (CSN2) - Cattle
Genotype / allele combination: No B allele detected
The B allele was not detected. This animal does not produce beta-casein B from the tested CSN2 profile and does not pass B to offspring.
Genotype / allele combination: One B allele detected
One copy of the B allele was detected. This animal produces beta-casein B in combination with the other CSN2 allele and can pass B to about half of its offspring.
Genotype / allele combination: Two B alleles detected
Two copies of the B allele were detected. This animal produces only this tested beta-casein variant and passes B to all offspring.

Genotype / allele combination: No C allele detected
The C allele was not detected. This animal does not produce beta-casein C from the tested CSN2 profile and does not pass C to offspring.
Genotype / allele combination: One C allele detected
One copy of the C allele was detected. This animal produces beta-casein C in combination with the other CSN2 allele and can pass C to about half of its offspring.
Genotype / allele combination: Two C alleles detected
Two copies of the C allele were detected. This animal produces only this tested beta-casein variant and passes C to all offspring.
