Feline Cutaneous Asthenia is a rare Heredity inheritable disease found in cats. It is related to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome , found in humans and in other animals. Cause There are two genetic traits linked to Feline Cutaneous Asthenia. One comes from a dominant allele, while the other comes from a recessive. Both result similar pathology. Pathology Cats with the autosomal dominant form of feline cutaneous asthenia package type I collagen poorly. Collagen is a major component in skin tissue and in tendons. While scientists originally suspected that the problem lay in the production of the type I collagen molecule, it is now known that type V collagen is the molecule which is incorrectly produced. Although scientists do not know exactly how, many suspect that type V collagen assists in packaging type I collagen. Collagen fibrils are often abnormally sized and have unusually large amounts of space between them. The dermis is thinned because of this. In heterozygous cats, normal and abnormal fibrils often exist inside of the same collagen fiber. Homozygous cats are not likely to survive for very long. The autosomal recessive form of feline cutaneous asthenia results in a deficiency of procollagen peptidase or a structural abnormality at its cleavage site. Procollagen peptidase is an enzyme necessary for the post translational modification of procollagen into collagen. Because of the abnormalities in the formation of collagen fibrils, affected cats produce twisted collagen ribbons, rather than the normal collagen cylinders one would expect to find. Symptoms In the case of the autosomal dominant form of the disease, kittens are often born with abnormally soft and velvety skin. Normal ... not suffer from joint hypermobility.

Hereditary equine regional dermal asthenia HERDA aka hyperelastosis cutis HC is an inherited Dominance relationship autosomal recessive connective tissue disorder. It develops from a homozygous recessive mutation that weakens collagen fibers that allow the skin of the animal to stay connected to the rest of the animal. Affected horses have extremely fragile skin that tears easily and exhibits impaired healing. In horses with HC, the skin separates between the deep and superficial dermis . There is no cure. Most individuals receive an injury they cannot heal, and are animal euthanasia euthanized . Managed breeding strategy is currently the only option for reducing the incidence of the disease. The disease is found primarily in the American Quarter Horse , specifically in cutting sport cutting horse lines. Affected horses have been found to trace to the stallion Poco Bueno , or possibly, farther back to one of his ancestors. ref name Sellnow http www.bringinglighttohypp.org HERDA.html HERDA Traces to Poco Bueno ref Researchers have now named four deceased Quarter Horse stallions that were carriers and produced at least one affacted HERDA foal they are Dry Doc, Doc O Lena , Great Pine, and Zippo Pine Bar .
