Simple Summary Congenital malformations (due to genetic causes) represent a hidden
danger for animal production, above all when genetic selection is undertaken for production …

Damage to genetic material and errors in the functioning of cellular mechanisms disturb
genome stability and integrity. Assessment of genomic stability in animals is a very important …

For several years, a genetic disease called transversal hemimelia (TH), also known as
congenital amputation, has been spreading in Mediterranean Italian buffalo. TH is …

Recent strong selection for dairy traits in water buffalo has been associated with higher
levels of inbreeding, leading to an increase in the prevalence of genetic diseases such as …

Simple Summary The aim of the study was to identify the genomic instability in cows with
reproductive disorders following infection with the BVD virus. The genomic stability was …

Commercially bred broiler chickens reared in inadequate breeder-created habitat conditions
often suffer from a disease that afflicts their lower limbs, chondrodystrophy. The sister …

In studies of chromosome instability, the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) test is a
particularly sensitive cytogenetic assay for detecting DNA damage. SCE tests of …

ABSTRACT A basic assay that detects genotoxic DNA damage disrupting DNA replication
and repair mechanisms is the sister chromatid exchange test. The frequency of sister …

Chromosome instability adversely affects animal fertility and reproduction. Analysis of
instability can be a valuable diagnostic tool. Helpful tests for assessment of instabilities …

Simple Summary Perosomus elumbis (PE) is a rare congenital condition characterized by
malformations localized mainly at the lumbo-sacral column. PE is reported in the literature …
