Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) — Achondroplasia-1 (hereditary; OMIA-verified species predisposition)
Source: first-hand OMIA (University of Sydney) species-specific hereditary-disorder record, saved verbatim to source_file; every claim below is a C1 byte-substring of it.
Claims
Species: Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)Disorder: Achondroplasia-1Clin feat: As first reported by Brown and Pearce (1945), this form of achondroplasia "is present at birth and is characterized by size reduction, by a disproportion of bodily parts, most marked in the extremities, and by an invariably lethal effect. The animals are still-born or die very shortly after birth. In physical appearance and in the character of the skeletal changes as shown by x-ray photographs, achondroplasia in the rabbit has a remarkable resemblance to the disease in man and in cattle and dogs."
