This is called congenital osteodystrophy, a genetic condition that causes crippling distortion and enlargement of the bones. These anomalies are not life threatening, nor is the fold ear gene a lethal one.
Some potential genetic problems that may occur in the Balinese are much the same as those in the Siamese: crossed eyes, from a genetic neurological defect; nystagmus (a slight back-and-forth twitching of the eyes), and congenital heart defects.
