Congenital hydrocephalus has been reported for a number of horse breeds, and for Friesian horses this condition has been associated with a nonsense mutation of B3GALNT2. We report the first case of congenital hydrocephalus associated with the said mutation in a Belgian draft horse. Genetic testing and consideration of the testing results in breeding programs are warranted.
先天性脑积水在多个马种中都有报道,对于弗里斯兰马来说,这种情况与B3GALNT2基因的无义突变有关。我们报告了一匹比利时挽马中首例与上述突变相关的先天性脑积水病例。在育种计划中进行基因检测并考虑检测结果是必要的。
