Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM)

 

Return to Genetic Defects

This is a lethal defect caused by a recessive gene. Affected calves have a bent and twisted spine. The calves are small and very thin due to limited muscle development. Their legs are often rigid and may be hyper-extended. In some cases, this causes calving difficulties.
