OMIA:000271-9823 : Dermatosis vegetans in Sus scrofa (pig)

Categories: Integument (skin) phene

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Disease-related: yes

Species-specific name: Club foot

Species-specific description: This disorder occurs only in Landrace pigs. It is a well-characterised syndrome comprising skin lesions on the body, swollen feet (club foot), and multinucleate giant cells (MGC) in the lungs, associated with fatal pneumonia. Evensen (1993) showed that the giant cells in the lungs of affected pigs are derived from mesenchymal cells, with a monocyte/macrophage origin.

Inheritance: Breeding data support single-locus autosomal recessive inheritance (Flatla et al., 1961).

Breed: Landrace (Pig) (VBO_0001161).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. (If a likely causal variant has been documented for the phene, see the variant table breeds in which the variant has been reported).
