Identification of a Novel Missense Mutation in the Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 Gene Associated with Longhair in the Maine Coon Cat

2021-06-04

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Hair length can be a highly variable trait within the <italic>Felis</italic> <italic>catus</italic> species, varying between and within different cat breeds. Previous research has demonstrated this variability is due to recessive mutations within the <italic>fibroblast growth factor 5</italic> (<italic>FGF5) </italic>gene. Following a clinical genetic screen, four long-haired Maine Coon...
