Summary

Syndactyly, a common limb malformation in pigs, was observed in all four limbs of a piglet. Radiographs confirmed bone fusion in the forelimbs and an extra bone in the hindlimbs, highlighting this congenital defect.

Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...
