OMIA:000044-9809 : Anencephaly/Exencephaly in Rhinoceros unicornis |
In other species: taurine cattle , sheep , Indo-pacific bottlenose dolphin
Categories: Nervous system phene
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 182940 (trait) , 206500 (trait) , 301410 (trait) , 619452 (trait)
Links to MONDO diseases: No links.
Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown
Considered a defect: yes
Cross-species summary: Congenital absence of the cranial vault, with the cerebral hemispheres completely missing or reduced to small masses. This phene was originally called anencephaly, but a recent review suggested that the term anencephaly/exencephaly is more appropriate.
Species-specific description: A single rhinoceros fetus was described with partial anencephaly (aplasia of the cerebrum) and hypoplasia of the cerebellum (Schaftenaar et al., 2011).
