- * A 2-week-old Scottish Highland calf with symptoms resembling congenital ichthyosis exhibited severe skin scaling, alopecia, and additional health issues, leading to a post-mortem study that confirmed the diagnosis through histopathological findings.
- * Whole-genome sequencing identified a specific genetic variant (DSP: c.6893 C>A) associated with the calf's condition, which alters a key protein in cell adhesion, and the variant appears to be rare in the population studied, highlighting a potential genetic factor in this form of ich
Highland cattle with congenital crop ears have notches of variable size on the tips of both ears. In some cases, cartilage deformation can be seen and occasionally the external ears are shortened. We collected 40 cases and 80 controls across Switzerland.
