| Sumario: | Umbilical hernia is a congenital and inherited disease. Swine is the most affected species followed by young equines. Our aim was to analyze hereditary umbilical hernia in a family of pureblood race horse belonging to one Haras. First, we estimated the prevalence in 155 foals from four families to determine the one with the highest prevalence (20.5%). We performed umbilical hernia digital palpation exam in such a family at 18 months of age for three generations and we developed the genealogy with the purpose of studying the inheritance mechanisms by sex and umbilical hernia size. Umbilical Hernia findings by the sex of the offspring were not significant (c2 1 = 0.26; P=0.61), however mares showed a higher relative risk (1.27) than male horses and her size was smaller (8.69%) than in males (21.75%) (c2 1 =1.77; P=0.18). According to our results we can conclude that umbilical hernia is an oligogenic disease. |
