Cross-species summary: Paralysis of the hind limb

Inheritance: Evidence for autosomal recessive inheritance of hind limb paralysis was presented by Berge (1941). In their major review of inherited disorders in pigs, Ollivier and Sellier (1982) cited a study by Ludvigsen et al. (1963) as providing evidence for autosomal recessive inheritance of hind limb paralysis associated with abnormal lumbar vertebrae. Because the Berge disorder did not involve vertebral abnormalities, it is possible that more than one locus can give rise to hind limb paralysis.
