Inheritance of polycystic kidney disease in Persian cats
Article Abstract:
Polycystic kidney disease is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait in Persian cats. The transmission of the disease occurs from female-to-female, female-to-male, male-to-male, and male-to-female. The disease is similar to the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in humans and results in the formation and enlargement of cysts in the renal cortex. Both diseases follow different clinical courses but ultimately result in renal failure towards the later stages of life.

The horse homolog of congenital aniridia conforms to codominant inheritance
Article Abstract:
The Rocky Mountain horse is a new pleasure horse breed which suffers from ocular defects. Anterior segment dysgenesis syndrome has distinct ocular phenotypes. Ophthalmic examinations were undertaken on horses in an extended Rocky Mountain horse pedigree to determine if anterior segment dysgenesis syndrome is heritable in horses. It was concluded that anterior segment dysgenesis syndrome in the horse could be homologous to similar ophthalmic anomalies in other species.

Genetic structure of natural populations of Agaricus bisporus, the commercial button mushroom
Article Abstract:
Genetic diversity was assessed in the button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, through the genetic analysis of 342 isolates gathered from 12 locations. Restriction fragment length polymorphism studies revealed a high degree of differentiation among the different mushroom populations in the different sites. This indicates that the regional mushroom populations are ancient and they have been significantly affected by cultivation.
