OMIA:000271-9823 : Dermatosis vegetans in Sus scrofa (pig)

Categories: Integument (skin) phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Species-specific name: Club foot

Species-specific description: This disorder occurs only in Landrace pigs. It is a well-characterised syndrome comprising skin lesions on the body, swollen feet (club foot), and multinucleate giant cells (MGC) in the lungs, associated with fatal pneumonia. Evensen (1993) showed that the giant cells in the lungs of affected pigs are derived from mesenchymal cells, with a monocyte/macrophage origin.

Inheritance: Breeding data support single-locus autosomal recessive inheritance (Flatla et al., 1961).

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

Breed: Landrace (Pig) (VBO_0001161).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. For breeds in which a likely causal variant has been documented, see the variant table below
