[Hereditary diseases in the horse: II. Polygenetic or multifactorial diseases].

Abstract excerpt

Many of the important diseases of sport and pleasure horses are thought to have a genetic component. The majority of these diseases, however, are multifactorial and are influenced not only by genetics, but also by environmental factors. In this review some of the most important multifactorial diseases are described and the current evidence for a genetic background is discussed.
