Hi, i found these article with info about under nutrition associated with disproportionate large reductions in the growth of some fetal organs and tissues like...
Cool! I will look it up and see if I can find it. Hopefully, the little ones do not have Primary Pituitary Dwarfism because that does reduce life spans, bieng...
BTW, yes, I know that this fetal effect is not the same as Primary Pituitary Dwarfism. I just got ahead of my typing and expressed myself badly... ... --...
BTW, I ran into this tonight. Not genetic, but it explains why proportional dwarves are no longer called midgets. It was a term that came into use during the...

That's a very strange kind of white marking, indeed...I never saw it ! Looks like Arlequin, without white paws. Maybe you bred a new kind of markings....
I meant: this kind of marking looks unusual, but you must let the kits grow to determinate their colour. If they stay like they're, Blacksable or True Black,...
Hey there ! I'm new in this group, so I'll introduce myself before starting the topic properly. I'm a poor French girl who's desperately wishing to adopt a ...
The rates of the possible genetic causes are not known BUT because neural crest variations affect such very early fetal cells the symptoms vary widely. This...
This is interesting and perhaps it even *hints* something about why cardiomyopathy is more prevalent with neural crest variations which are not earlier...
It is quite interesting. ... It reminds me of my baby boy who is not only partially deaf, but displays all the classic signs Waardenburg Syndrome--bigger than ...
... Well, some of those are not Waardenburg symptoms. The symptoms of Waardenburg are things like a forehead white stripe, wide set eyes, deafness, etc. In...
Please let me clarify. :) As with the original article, this is merely something "to be considered", I think. I unfortunately have a great familiarity with ...
I just saw this on the news this morning. The potential for such a vaccine may result in more cancer vaccines and hopefully, as this one was successful in...
There are a RANGE of types of genetic variants which can affect the extremely early fetal region (which exists before organ development) known as the Neural...
Actually, from the research I've done on WS, it looks as though it may be implicated in the white body markings, as well. WS Type 4 is associated with the...
It was. :) I am only suggesting that we look at the hypothesis in a even more broader view and consider that (the) unexplained hacking could be just an...
Ah! Understood! One thing that has long interested me fits in with Joan's note. Before there was a breeding emphasis which greatly increased the proportion of...
Here, you go on that interesting aspect. I found the study Joan mentioned. It is from 7 years ago so it would be good to find more recent follow-ups and...
What I find intriguing is that people are discussing this as a problem to be further investigated (which it is). but not what to do about it. If this is a...
