Osteochondrodysplasia in Scottish Fold cats

Abstract: Clinical and radiological findings were ascribed to defective maturation and function of cartilage, particularly in the distal limbs, ears and tail. As all Scottish Fold cats suffered from osteochondrodysplasia of some degree, the best solution would be to avoid using fold-eared cats for breeding and instead use Scottish shorthairs.

“…Esta mutação genética faz com que a cartilagem auricular se volte em direção aos olhos e rege a ocorrência de distúrbios de ossificação endocondral que ocorrem durante o crescimento destes animais, resultando em manifestações de deformidade osteoarticular como a osteocondrodisplasia (Partington et al, 1996;Malik et al, 1999;Gandolfi et al, 2016). Os gatos afetados possuem caudas curtas, grossas, inflexíveis e pés encurtados (Graeme, 2000).…”

“…A raça foi banida na Inglaterra, porém se perpetuou nos Estados Unidos (Malik et al, 1999). Os gatos Scottish Folds despertam interesse entre tutores e comercializadores devido as suas características singulares que incluem orelhas dobradas, olhos redondos grandes, curva suave do nariz e membros grossos e curtos.…”

“…The reason for this morphological difference is an autosomal dominant gene mutation that affects cartilage development. However, this mutation not only creates a simple morphological difference but also presents itself as hereditary osteochondrodysplasia [1][2][3] .…”

“…There are still countries that permit Scottish Fold cats to be shown and bred -even though most of them develop variably severe arthritis for the whole of their life. 7 Similarly, Manx cats are prone to spina bifida and associated complications (Fig 3), 8 which may be irreparable or require surgical intervention. Why would you deliberately breed a cat that doesn't have a tail -a structure so elegant and functional, and so 'catty'?…”
