Table 3 Survival rate of calves descending from different mating types

Carrier-state for the p.W215X-mutation		Number of calves	Survival rate at different days
Sire	Maternal grandsire	Number of calves	6	10	20	50	102	202	300
Non-carrier	Carrier	2,552	0.961	0.957	0.949	0.940	0.924	0.909	0.903
Carrier	Carrier	1,213	0.931	0.923	0.911	0.895	0.869	0.843	0.834

The survival rate of calves from different mating types was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier estimator.
