Genetic Link to Muscle Disease Discovered
Immune-mediated myositis is a muscle disease seen in Quarter Horses and related breeds such as Paints and Appaloosas. It can lead quickly to muscle weakness and atrophy and can leave your horse feeling generally ill. Unfortunately, not a lot has been known about the cause of IMM. New research, though, shows there is likely a genetic link.
