OMIA 001279-9823 : Hypotrichosis, recessive in Sus scrofa

In other species: dog

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal Recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: Recessive form of hair loss.

Inheritance: Roberts and Carroll (1931) provided convincing evidence of autosomal recessive inheritance of hairlessness. It seems very likely that the causative mutation is at a different locus from that which gives rise to "Hypotrichosis, dominant" (MIA 001278) in pigs. However, breeding trials to test non-allelism have not been reported.
