Autosomal Trisomy in a Heifer

Autosomal trisomi hos en kviga

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 28, pages 1–8 (1987)Cite this article

Abstract

A malformed Ayrshire heifer had one additional autosome in all the lymphocyte metaphases studied. Chromosome banding techniques showed the karyotype of the calf to be 2n = 61, XX, +24.

Slight prognathia of the lower jaw and peculiar abbrevations in the structure of the genitals were the most apparent anomalies, in addition to heart abnormalities, a poorly-closed urachus and slow growth rate.

Sammanfattning

Hos en Ayrshire-kviga med långsam tillväxt och plötslig död i en ålder av 1 år kunde en extra autosomal kromosom påvisas i alla lymfocyter. Bandfärgning av kromosomerna visade karyotypen vara 2n = 61, XX, +24.

Kvigan hade en lindrig prognathia inferior, ett litet navelbrock samt utvecklingsstörningar i urogenitalsystemet och defekter i hjärtat.
