[Analysis of the inheritance of taillessness in the Baikuzino population of cats from Udmurtia].

Abstract excerpt

A new mutation of taillessness was found in its extreme form in an isolated cat population from a Russian region. The mutation was expressed as the absence of tail or its shortening. Genetic analysis gives grounds to suppose that this trait is controlled by a dominant gene with a probable recessive lethal effect at an early embryogenetic stage.
