1 TTN was the only gene with inplicated rare variants that occurred in multiple DCM families and A region (chr9q21.11-q22.31) with no known DCM genes with a maximum heterogeneity logarithm of odds score of 1.74. Heterozygous TTN truncating mutations may not manifest unless associated with a second mutation in novel forms of core myopathy with heart disease. 2  Mutations in titin were found to cause familial restrictive cardiomyopathy.
SIZE: Zebras reach six to eight-and-a-half feet in length. Their tails are an additional one-and-a-half feet long. Zebras weigh between 530 and 820 pounds. They are four to five feet tall at the shoulder. Equus zebra is generally larger than Equus zebra hartmannae. POPULATION: Equus zebra: 600-700 in the wild.
The Grevy's communicates over long distances. OFFSPRING: Foals (baby zebras) weigh 55 pounds at birth. Mares normally give birth to their first foal when they are between three and six years of. Normally they then give birth to one foal every one to three years until they are 24. THREATS: The spread of agriculture is one of the main threats to zebra.
