This review focus on the most important inherited disorders of cattle and the genomic basis is presented when known. In addition it deals with aspects that should be considered when dealing with this type of diseases and finally, a survey of different alterations in the bovine genome is presented. The list of known genetic diseases in cattle is long and still increasing and for convenience, we have herein listed only the most important. For each defect, the most characteristic findings, type of inheritance and if known also the molecular basis are given.
