title: Heritability and diagnosis of congenital abnormalities in food animals.
abstract: The heritability and diagnosis of congenital abnormalities in food animals have been reviewed from the viewpoint of practitioners, clinicians, and researchers. At least 632 putative mutant genes have been cataloged and listed according to the principal body system affected and mode of inheritance (see Tables 1 and 2). Implications of recent advances in genetic methodology are noted.
