Incidence of clubfoot varies, and did not seem to be associated with type of mating. Normal x normal produced 28%, normal x clubfoot produced 25% and clubfoot x clubfoot produced 34% clubfoot offspring, respectively. No causative gene has been isolated. The condition can be detected at the terminal stages of gestation, with abnormalities of the peroneal nerve and the anterior and lateral crural muscles in adult rats (Shoji et al 1988)
