Malocclusion in inbred strain-2 weanling guineapigs.
The incidence of malocclusion was recorded for 4 years. Malocclusion occurred only in animals less than 2 months old. The incidence was significantly reduced (P greater than 0.001) by breeding from animals without affected siblings: it is suggested that malocclusion in this colony has a genetic basis.
