A case of non-syndromic, complete syndactyly involving all four limbs is described in a three-month-old male crossbreed dog for the first time. Syndactyly is a rare condition in most animal species, in dogs it has been infrequently reported. Findings of clinical, radiographic and cytogenetic analyses are described and demonstrate probably for the first time that numerical and structural chromosome aberrations are not involved in the pathogenesis of this case of syndactyly.
首次报道了一例三个月大的杂种雄性犬出现涉及四肢的非综合征性完全并指(趾)畸形病例。并指(趾)畸形在大多数动物物种中是一种罕见病症,在犬类中鲜有报道。本文描述了临床、放射学和细胞遗传学分析结果,首次证明该并指(趾)畸形病例的发病机制与染色体数目和结构异常无关。
