OMIA:000299-9823 : Dwarfism, generic in Sus scrofa (pig)

In other species: white-tufted-ear marmoset , dog , domestic cat , Asiatic elephant , horse , red deer , Northern giraffe , taurine cattle , indicine cattle (zebu) , goat , sheep , rabbit , callipterus cichlid , Angolan giraffe

Categories: Skeleton phene (incl. short stature & teeth) , Growth / size / body region phene

Mendelian trait/disorder: no

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: no

Species-specific description: There have been several isolated reports of dwarfism in pigs. The two reports with the greatest clinical detail are those by Kaman et al. (1991) and Shirota et al. (1995).

Inheritance: Jensen et al. (1984) provided convincing evidence of single-locus autosomal inheritance for one form of porcine dwarfism.
