| Popis: | Hereditary equine regional dermal asthenia (HERDA) is an autosomal recessive inheritable disorder described in the Quarter Horses and related breeds. In this case report, a 2-year-old Quarter Horse filly was diagnosed with HERDA based on clinical findings and genetic testing. The observed clinical signs were stretchy, loose and thin skin, and open wounds on the upper body. Skin biopsy results were consistent with the common findings previously described in the literature. This is the first HERDA case report in China (and in Asia). Genetic testing protocols should be implemented for breeding farms to prevent the disease. |
