Neuware -Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articlesavailable from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Cats, like allliving organisms, occasionally have mutations that affect their bodytype. Sometimes, these cat body type genetic mutations are strikingenough that humans select for and perpetuate them. This is not always inthe best interests of the cat, as many of these mutations are harmful;some are lethal in their homozygous form.This page gives a selection ofcat body type mutant alleles and the associated mutations with a briefdescription.Jb = Japanese bobtail gene (dominant with incompletepenetrance). Cats heterozygous for this gene have abnormal tails, butunlike the Manx cat there are no associated skeletal disorders and thegene is not associated with lethality.M = Manx gene (dominant). Catswith the homozygous genotype (MM) die before birth, and stillbornkittens show gross abnormalities of the central nervous system. Catswith the heterozygous genotype (Mm) show severely shortened tail lengthranging from taillessness to a partial, stumpy tail. Some Manx cats diebefore 12 months old and exhibit skeletal and organ defects.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 80 pp. Englisch.…
