Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Species-specific symbol: SUED

Species-specific description: Crosses among various rare breeds of sheep (mainly Jacob's Sheep and Hebridean) suggested that the presence of a split in the eyelid appears to be associated with the presence of 4 horns (Henson, 1981). See also polyceraty.

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
