ABSTRACT
Cells from kidney and adrenal tissues of a male calf with extreme brachygnathia inferior were grown in tissue culture for a chromosome study of this birth defect. Six of 17 metaphases with a 61,XY complement were karyotyped. The extra autosome was a large acrocentric of the A group. This finding provides further evidence that a chromosomal defect is associated with some forms of brachygnathia inferior in cattle.
