Vanbro,

It sounds more as if that foal had LFS., Lavender Foal Syndrome.
You can read more about LFS at www.foal.org
The strange coloring has a lot to do with it.
That is just a guess on my part. Can you remember what its breeding was?

I bred a filly from my mare years ago and at the time I just thought the filly was a victim of a 'birth accident' ie cerebral palsy/cerebral anoxia. She was unable to stand , was having spasms and also she as a strange colour too,for an Arab, if that is of any significance!!!!
I had her put down almost immediately.
I know that the mare never ever had another foal like that, or even lost a foal,but I don't know about the stallion.
Maybe that foal had CA ???

Yes I do remember the breeding and incidentally when I talked to my friend about it she had one of similar bloodlines around the same time. Will look at LFS and see if that fits....

AHA Task Force on Genetic Diseases Wants Your Input - Please Take Survey

It is not necessary to be a member of AHA to fill in this survey. Only by working together as an arabian community will we be able to moderate the growth and spread of genetic disorders within our arabian breed. Sp Please take a few minutes to complete this questionaire. Your opinions are valued!

Lisa (the following has just been announced by the AHA Task Force)


The following survey has been set up to help get feedback from the Arabian horse community on some of the key issues the task force is discussing. Although some of the questions are for demographic purposes, please answer all of the questions to the best of your ability and also use the comment boxes as needed. I suspect that after the results from this survey are analyzed, we will be following up with an additional survey, to dig deeper into some of the subjects.

Hey, hang on a minute! What does this direct copy and paste quote from the Van Haerigen website description of the test I was about to pay for and label my horses actually mean??

"The genetic test for CA is not completely finished, as the specific mutation that causes the disease has not been found yet. However, a group of genetic DNA-markers next to the disease gene can be used as an indirect test. The CA test is based on a specific set of DNA-variation which is co-inherited with the disease. As a result, the indirect test predicts the status of the actual mutation.

"Because the genetic test for CA is not completely finished yet, additional pedigree information or samples from a parent may be required to complete a test."


I will go with proven science, but this hasn't been presented in a way that I can believe in.

I would like some more information concerning the CA -

I am considering purchasing an Arabian / Hackney mix, but I recently discovered this very sad disease.

the dam of the horse that I am looking
at is Cymphony..


being that this Arab that I am looking at is 1/2 Arab is this CA still a concern, and should the mare
(6 years old) be tested???...

any new information concerning CA will also be appreciated, I have been reading the forums as best as possible, and trying to get more information concerning it.


I had a Quarter Horse that was tested for HYPP back in 1992. The test came up negative but thru the years he had all the symptoms and so we retired him early. I think it would be very very hard on me if I were to purchase a horse that might possibly end up having some similiar (or worse) problems.


is this a possibility like HYPP?
in other words.. could a horse that tests negative start displaying symptoms anyway??

Thru time, I eventually joined forums for those of us with HYPP negative horses but the horses showed the symptoms.. many of them passed on and it was just heartbreaking. Our gelding is now 20, and retired on a 40 acre farm the past 7 years. I believe doing so has saved his life as I could not see him surviving here in the Chicago area, stuck in a stall most of the day. 100% freedom has given him strength...


sorry to ramble, I am so nervous about this and my
heart breaks for any of you and your horses that have sufferered from this sad and horrible disease...

Bonny (aka windy),

For a fully informative read on CA, go to the Cerebellar Abiotropy website posted below and do view the video-clips which show the clinical signs of affected CA foals/fillies:

A purebred arabian CA Carrier can pass forward the defecive mutated allele when bred to another breed of horse. So for your own peace ofmind, I suggest that you go ahead and test. I have found a part arabian by the name of Cymphony , 1999 bay mare (Europejczyk x Color Me Monogram) and a 1985 bay mare , purebred of the same name (KK Bravura x Cymbel). The first carries known ca carrier lines close up and the second has known carrier lines after the 4th and 5th generation. CA is an autosomal recessive and needs both parents to be carriers in order to produce an affected foal.

And just to point out the unexpected: What with ESTOPASAN, ECAHO, WH JUSTICE, MAGNUM PSYCHE, and now an affected foal by ML MOSTLY PADRON out of a GG SAMIR daughter, some very well known and popular breeding stock are being designated as CA Carriers.

Best to keep updated and test your own stock before breeding.

Dom,

I certainly appreciate your viewoint and you are not alone in quering the validity of the Marker Scanning Test aka a pre-DNA genetic based test for CA.

What you are getting with the results of this test is the sound knowledge that the marker clusters which accompany the defective mutated CA allele are either in existance or not in existance. If they are expressed then the horse is a CA Carrier. If they are not expressed then the horse is clear and does not carry the defective mutated allele for CA. These marker clusters have accompanied the defective allele 100% to date. UC Davis calls the test "robust" and "sound". The samples sent to Holland to the Van Haeringen Lab in Holland are being sent on to UC Davis for verification.

"The genetic test for CA is not completely finished, as the specific mutation that causes the disease has not been found yet. However, a group of genetic DNA-markers next to the disease gene can be used as an indirect test. The CA test is based on a specific set of DNA-variation which is co-inherited with the disease. As a result, the indirect test predicts the status of the actual mutation.

"Because the genetic test for CA is not completely finished yet, additional pedigree information or samples from a parent may be required to complete a test."


I will go with proven science, but this hasn't been presented in a way that I can believe in.

Yes - my name is Bonny.. ;-)
thanks for your reply!!

I do have the mare here -

and the vet will be coming out on friday
for the "exam"..

the farrier gives her a thumbs up and says go for it..
He thinks that she is a very nice horse.

She had some shoeing/trimming troubles, but he believes with corrective trimming she will be just fine.

She is a little off at the canter, but he believes that is because of the way the feet were trimmed..

pictures coming soon,
and thank you everyone for your help!!
She is a very sweet little horse, and besides the usual gangliness/awkwardness
of a young horse, she seems just fine..


FYI - I have absolutely no intentions of breedering her..

Thanks for your reply, but I'm still not happy. I think that testing now could actually lead to a worsening of the situation if people are overconfident about their results.

My problem is in your assertion that the markers accompany 100% of defective alleles. I would suggest that this is over confident. I am sure that it is a confident statement in that 100% of unambiguously diagnosed affected CA/CA so far tested have been reported to have the markers. I presume that UC Davis have been breeding and testing a herd of N/CA and CA/CA in-house rather than just testing samples from the national herd. However, it is vital to identify all of the carriers and only the carriers in this, and my worry is that those who test now will believe the results are definitive.

I am quite concerned that we now have people posting "clear" results with the implied confidence that the horses are N/N. Undoubtedly they have tested for all of the right reasons, and have done absolutely everything available to avoid breeding CA/CA foals, but there are three big questions for me:

1/ With rare bloodlines said to be carrying the CA allele, will owners of quality horses that have CA/N indications now terminate those lines? A great shame if so, as our experience of SCID, and of PRA, CNM, EIC and narcolepsy in labradors, shows that they can be completely eradicated in two generations at the worst;

2/ Will those people retest their horses if/when the allele is identified and a direct test becomes available? This is my main concern, as I was about to spend around £1000 which I cannot afford to do and then redo.

3/ Have any clears thrown positive results for the markers, or is this possible? Indeed, is there a way of knowing the answer to this, as carriers are asymptomatic? If the test mislabels a rare-lined clear as a carrier, that could terminate what we are all trying to preserve. Only a very large test herd can answer this question, and then over several generations.

If the current test eventually proves not to be 99.99% reliable in picking up the defective allele in the wider international herd, the premature publication of "clear" results could actually have an enormously damaging Affect(sic). If our stallions test N/N, then with our plans they will be breeding prolifically, and the publication of their results will probably increase the number of mares visiting them, helping to recoup the testing cost.

There are a number of cases of carrier labrador retrievers of magnificent working achievement who have had truely monsterous numbers of puppies, e.g. XXX who sired over 8000 and was certainly a carrier. Their owners all used the best knowledge available at the time to produce the best quality sire dogs, and the parallel is chilling.


Let me add that I am a huge believer in testing. All of our herd are SCID tested, and the results are publicly available on our website especially the late Hanson's SCID carrier status. We have been successfully breeding out the large number of genetic diseases that afflict working labradors, and have the most tested (and most multiply completely N/N clear) working breeding pack in the UK. I went onto the Van Haeringen website specifically to find the test order form for CA, which is where I found the info I originally quoted.


We will test, publish, and publicise as soon as we are confident that the test available is definitive. In the meanime, we are certainly more aware of the possibility of CA and will be vigilant.

I have looked at your web site Dom and realise your concern over CA. Don't be concerned and don't sit there and do nothing. Test your stallions at least, if they are positive or negative, with this present day test you can at least have some legal back up in the case of a foal being born affected from an outside mare.
Any stallion who is positive should not be culled or not, not used for breeding, as you yourself have proved with a Scid carrying stallion, (I know he is gone now) it does not effect their use.
If people want that blood or like that horse they will still use them.
We will all re-test if a new test comes out, but for now we do what we can.

Here is the link to a video of a Justice filly PTS and an article about CA.
