The Scottish Fold is a distinctive breed of domestic cat characterised by a natural dominant gene mutation associated with osteochondrodysplasia. This genetic anomaly affects cartilage throughout the body, causing the ears to "fold", bending forward and down towards the front of the head.

The Munchkin is the first created dwarf cat breed, which was used as a foundation stock for other “spin-off” breeds, such as the Minskin, Minuet or Napoleon, [1] Bambino, [1] Lambkin Dwarf, [1] Kinkalow, [1] Skookum, [1] Genetta, and Scottish Kilt. The homozygous form (MkMk) may be lethal as litter sizes are smaller than average.
Another mutation of the ear pinna was found in Scottish Fold cats. In these cats both heterozygous and homozygous (FdFd) cats, animals suffer from osteochondrodysplasia . [ 5 ] The question arises if homozygous curls (CuCu) could also be affected by cartilage formation defects and bone abnormalities.
