General information
In horses, height is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. One important genetic factor is the LCORL gene, which has been linked to body size and stature. This test analyses a specific mutation that affects the LCORL gene expression in Warmblood horses.
Clinical features
Horses that genotype as C/T (Carrier) or T/T (Unaffected) tend to be smaller in size than C/C (Affected) horses.
