The Belgian Draft Horse is one breed in which JEB occurs Junctional epidermolysis bullosa ( JEB ) is an inherited disorder that is also known as red foot disease or hairless foal syndrome . [ 1 ] JEB is the result of a genetic mutation that inhibits protein production that is essential for skin adhesion. [ 2 ]
The cause of disease was tracked down using a genome-wide association study, which implicated a region on horse chromosome 25. [1] This chromosome was sequenced in five affected horses, [1] and in 2009, a mutation was discovered in the SLC5A3 gene. [4] Shortly after this, a genetic test was launched for horse owners to identify whether their ...
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (/ ˌ f aɪ b r oʊ d ɪ ˈ s p l eɪ ʒ (i) ə ɒ ˈ s ɪ f ɪ k æ n z p r ə ˈ ɡ r ɛ s ɪ v ə /; [1] abbr. FOP), also called Münchmeyer disease or formerly myositis ossificans progressiva, is an extremely rare connective tissue disease in which fibrous connective tissue such as muscle, tendons, and ligaments turn into bone tissue (ossification).
The International Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva Association (IFOPA) is a US-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization supporting medical research, education and communication for those afflicted by the rare genetic condition Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). IFOPA's mission is to fund research to find a cure for FOP while ...
The disease is particularly devastating because foals are born seemingly healthy after being carried to full term. [1] The disease has a similar cause to Hirschsprung's disease in humans. A mutation in the middle of the endothelin receptor type B (EDNRB) gene causes lethal white syndrome when homozygous.

Equine Musculoskeletal Engraving. Equine exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER) is a syndrome that affects the skeletal muscles within a horse. This syndrome causes the muscle to break down which is generally associated with exercise and diet regime.
Foot of a draft horse. Chronic progressive lymphedema (CPL) is a disease of some breeds of draft horse, whereby the lower legs becomes progressively more swollen. [1] There is no cure; [1] the aim of treatment is to manage the signs and slow progression of the disease. [2]
