OMIA 002398-8957 : Neuropathy and feather colour, dilution in Accipiter gentilis |
Mendelian trait/disorder:
unknown
Mode of inheritance:
Probably Autosomal Recessive
Considered a defect:
yes
Species-specific description:
Rutz et al. (2004): "A pair of northern goshawks (Accipiter gentilis) ... raised 12 healthy and five aberrant offspring between 1996 and 2000. Aberrant nestlings (three males and two females) had pale silver-blue plumage and displayed severe locomotor disorders. Histopathologically, the defects were characterized by adendritic feather melanocytes and mild degeneration of the cerebellar white matter. Epidemiologic results were suggestive of a hereditary autosomal recessive defect ... ."
