    mUNCHKINS HAVE THE ughD GENE

    Dwarfism gene UGHD is only found in cats

    Dwarfism in cats in unlike any other species.  Cats have the UGHD gene, they do not have achondrodysplasia which results in larger heads, they have  chondrodysplasia.  The UGHD gene ONLY effects the long bones and has no detrimental effects on the longevity of the cat.  Dwarf cats are not like dwarf dogs.  Dawrf are more than capable of jumping on counters.
