Fragile Foal Syndrome Type 1 (WFFS) is due to an abnormality in collagen synthesis characterised by hyperextensible, abnormally thin and fragile skin and mucous membranes that cause extensive lesions throughout the body. Signs of the disease are present from birth. Newborn foals are euthanised due to a poor prognosis for an incurable disease. The WFFS test is a patented test in Germany, France and the UK.
