NS: non-scurred, S: scurred and H: horned.
1 This scurred bull (#5945 in Figure 1) was assumed to be P/p Sc/Sc according to the inheritance pattern for the scurs locus in the French Charolais breed.
2 In modern Holstein populations, allele Sc appears to be rare [20].
3 Data on the frequency of the scurs phenotype in this horned breed are not available.
4 Family CRBH3 [1,21]; assuming the specific inheritance of the scurs trait in the French Charolais breed, probabilities that this Charolais dam is p/p Sc/sc as assumed by Asai et al. [1] or p/p Sc/Sc are equal.
