Supernumerary teats represent a common abnormality of the bovine udder. A genome-wide association study was performed based on the proportion of the occurrence of supernumerary teats in the daughters of 1097 Holstein bulls. The heritability of caudal supernumerary teats without mammary gland in this study was 0.604. The largest proportion of the heritability was attributable to BTA 20. The strongest evidence for association was with five SNPs on chromosome 20, referred to as a QTL. The mode of inheritance at this QTL was dominant. These findings reveal that the occurrence of caudal supernumerary teats without mammary gland in Holstein cattle is influenced by a QTL on chromosome 20 and a polygenic part. The data support the high potential of the SNPs in the QTL region as markers for breeding against caudal supernumerary teats.

Supernumerary teats (SNTs) or nipples often emerge around the mammary line. This study performed a genome-wide selective sweep analysis (GWS) at the copy number variant (CNV) level using two selected signal calculation methods ( and ) to identify candidate genes associated with SNTs in goats. A total of 12,310 CNVs were identified from 37 animals and 123 CNVs, with the top 1% values including 84 candidate genes (CDGs).

Polythelia also known as supernumerary is an anomaly in the breast development by extra number of nipples. We report a case of polythelia in the Gynecology-Obstetrics department of the CHU Gabriel Touré. This was a 32-year-old woman received for pregnancy monitoring, in whom we accidentally discovered three pairs of nipples located on both breasts.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the phenotypic characteristics and typification of Creole goats in five localities of the Ayacucho region in south-central Peru.
Materials And Methods: Data from 149 goats (25 males and 124 females) were collected, excluding animals under 2 years of age, pregnant, and sick. Seven qualitative characteristics and 11 zometric measurements were evaluated, and then 9 zometric indices were estimated.

Supernumerary nipples develop on the chest and abdominopelvic regions along the embryonic milk line. Their anatomy varies from isolated accessory nipples to complete supernumerary nipples (accessory nipple, areola, and underlying glandular breast tissue). Patients with a pathogenic BReast CAncer (BRCA) sequence variation are at an increased cumulative risk of developing breast cancer, and it is the standard of care for them to be offered medical or surgical risk reduction.
