Simultaneous occurrence of epitheliogenesis imperfecta with syndactyly in a calf and a lamb

Inherited Disorders in Danish Cattle

“…Familial occurrence following breeding between unaffected parents indicates that some cases are due to an autosomal recessive gene, although segregation ratios between affected and unaffected calves differ from expected ratios (107, 108,135,179). The inheritance of recent cases in Holsteins is unsolved (60,311).…”

Case Report of Bilateral 3-4 Metatarsal Syndactyly in a Pet Rabbit

“…Congenital syndactyly has been observed in dogs, cats, sheep, pigs, and cows [ 3 – 8 ]. Although in dogs and cats are cited isolated cases in the literature, it has been considered by some authors that syndactyly is hereditary in these species [ 2 , 3 ].…”

“…Syndactyly in dogs can be complicated: in a family of Australian Shepherd dogs a multiple inherited teratologic syndrome that was lethal to males has been reported [ 7 ]. Although in sheep heritability has been suggested, it is in cows in the species in which hereditary syndactyly, in autosomal recessive form, is best described [ 4 , 6 , 8 ].…”
