Due to
heavy inbreeding in USA is has been attempted to develop a special
look of the Burmese cat; The so called "Contemporary" or
"New Look" Burmese.
The traditional - somewhat more old fashioned -
American Burmese is supposed not to include
known carriers of the Cranial
Abnormality
As a
result of these experiments of changing the natural look of this breed
some breeding lines carry a hereditary genetic defect that may cause the
birth of kittens with deformed heads.
At the
moment there is no test available that can disclose if a certain Burmese
cat carries the defect. It needs knowledge of known carriers to establish
the risk of carriers in the offspring.
