OMIA:000656-9913 : Molars, impacted in Bos taurus (taurine cattle)

Categories: Skeleton phene (incl. short stature & teeth)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Species-specific name: "parrot-mouth"

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing

Clinical features: Heizer and Hervey (1937): "Calves showing the defect died within the first week after parturition. ... The principal abnormality observed in the dead calves was the impaction of the premolar teeth in the mandible which was greatly reduced in length and width giving a "parrot-mouth" appearance."

Breed: Dairy Shorthorn (Cattle) (VBO_0000186).
