OMIA:000615-9823 : Lymphosarcoma in Sus scrofa (pig)

In other species: rabbit

Categories: Neoplasm

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: Malignant neoplastic disorder of lymphoid tissue.

Inheritance: McTaggart et al. (1979) provided convincing evidence that this disorder is autosomal recessive in pigs.

Clinical features: Stunted growth, pot-belly, enlargement of superficial lymph nodes, an increase in circulating lymphocytes, and death before 15 months of age. Postmortem examination reveals sarcoma involving all lymph nodes, but primarily those draining the gut and lung (Head et al., 1974).
