CARRIERS–Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM)
Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM) was recognized as a genetic condition on September 16, 2008. Calves are born dead or die shortly after birth. The spine and legs appear crooked or twisted and the joints of the legs are often fixed in position. Front legs are contracted and rear limbs may be contracted or extended. Calves are small and appear thin due to limited muscle development. There may be a cleft affecting the nose or palate.
