Italian Beef Breeds

Hi, I am a vet student at Onderstepoort in South Africa and am doing a seminaar, evaluating the Romagnola, Chianina and Marchigiana. I am having difficulty finding any particular diseases that they may be prone to. Could you also please explain what "Robertsonia translocation" is. I have been lead to think it has something to do with chromosome 129. Thank you for your wonderful service, I really appreciate it.
