  • Identification of mutation and method for detecting lavender foal syndrome in the horse
    Patent number: 8932810
    Abstract: Provided is a method for determining whether a horse is normal, a carrier, or is affected with Lavender Foal Syndrome (LFS). The method entails, in a biological sample obtained or derived from a horse, determining a single nucleotide deletion which introduces a translational stop codon in the 49th codon of exon 30 of the equine MYO5A gene. Homozygosity for the absence of the deletion is indicative that the horse is normal for LFS. Heterozygosity for the deletion is indicative that the horse is a carrier of LFS. Homozygosity for the deletion is indicative that the horse is affected with LFS. Methods for selecting horses for breeding and kits for determining the LFS-associated deletion are also provided.
