Quantitative trait loci mapping for canine hip dysplasia and its related traits in UK Labrador Retriever (2014)
Journal Article

Background
Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is characterised by a malformation of the hip joint, leading to osteoarthritis and lameness. Current breeding schemes against CHD have resulted in measurable but moderate responses. The application of marker-ass...
