Growth retardation due to Fleckvieh Haplotype (FH2) is an autosomal recessive disorder that occurs in Fleckvieh cattle. This causal mutation is located in the SCL2A2 gene. Due to this mutation, the GLUT2 protein, which plays a role in glucose homeostasis, has a deficiency. This leads to retarded growth and failure of the liver and/or kidneys.
