| Abstract: | Defects of the premolar tooth formula (oligodontia, tooth number reduction) were studied in dogs of the Kerry blue terrier breed. For this purpose, a database including 480 individuals of 96 litters was constructed. The occurrence of oligodontia was investigated in pedigree groups with inbred and outbred crosses. No selective mating choice for the anomaly under study was found in the sample. The results indicate that oligodontia is inherited, which requires comprehensive study of its genetic control and search for corresponding genes. |
