Informations générales

Chondrodysplastic Dwarfism is a skeletal disorder that causes reduced growth and an abnormal body shape. This variant of dwarfism, found in the Miniature Horse, can be caused by any combination of four different recessive mutations to the gene ACAN, which are known as D1, D2, D3* and D4. The D3* mutation is also known to occur in the Shetland Pony. ACAN-caused dwarfism is severe and painful, and in severe cases may require euthanasia of an affected foal.

Caractéristiques cliniques

Horses affected by chondrodysplastic dwarfism are extremely short relative to their age. They generally have have disproportionately short limbs and necks, bowed forelegs, a compressed face with bulging eyes, a severe underbite, a cleft palate, a protruding tongue and hernia of the abdomen. Affected foals may spontaneously abort during pregnancy, or else require euthanasia soon after birth due to severely reduced quality of life.

In addition, carriers of these mutations may be shorter than normal.
