Allgemeine Informationen
In the Birman cat breed, a hereditary disorder has been observed that results in hypotrichosis (loss of hair) and thymic aplasia (an underdeveloped thymus), resulting in a drastically lowered life expectancy. The disorder is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene FOXN1.
Klinische Merkmale
Affected kittens are born hairless, and only develop a sparse and shortened coat, as well as wrinkled and greasy-seeming skin. They are prone to infections of the airways, digestive system and skin. Survival past the age of 8 months is unlikely, and euthanasia on humane grounds is likely to be considered.
