This entry covers many different disorders of the claw, because so many studies have considered them jointly. In their invited review of genetics and claw health, Heringstad et al. (2018) included digital or interdigital dermatitis, heel horn erosion, interdigital hyperplasia, sole hemorrhage, sole ulcer, white line disease, corkscrew claw, double sole, interdigital phlegmon, interdigital growth, laminitis, chronic laminitis, rotation, skin proliferation, thick hocks, toe ulcer, wall disorders, and wall ulcer. These authors reported that "Heritabilities of the most commonly analyzed claw disorders based on data from routine claw trimming were generally low, with ranges of linear model estimates from 0.01 to 0.14, and threshold model estimates from 0.06 to 0.39."
