Alopecia X in a cloned Pomeranian dog

Vet Dermatol. 2024 Jan 2. doi: 10.1111/vde.13234. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA two-year-old Pomeranian dog with Alopecia X was cloned after accidental death. Despite earlier castration, the cloned animal developed the same lesions of Alopecia X at the same age. This observation suggests that the disease is due to genetically programmed hair cycle arrest without strong environmental influences.PMID:38169070 | DOI:10.1111/vde.13234
