Background: Many common and relevant diseases affecting equine welfare have yet to be tested regarding structural variants such as copy number variations (CNVs). CNVs make up a substantial proportion of total genetic variability in populations of man...

Joint genomic prediction of canine hip dysplasia in UK and US Labrador Retrievers (2018)
Journal Article
Edwards, S. M., Woolliams, J. A., Hickey, J. M., Blott, S. C., Clements, D. N., Sánchez-Molano, E., …Wiener, P. (2018). Joint genomic prediction of canine hip dysplasia in UK and US Labrador Retrievers. Frontiers in Genetics, 9, Article 101. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2018.00101

Canine hip dysplasia, a debilitating orthopedic disorder that leads to osteoarthritis and cartilage degeneration, is common in several large-sized dog breeds and shows moderate heritability suggesting that selection can reduce prevalence. Estimating... Read More about Joint genomic prediction of canine hip dysplasia in UK and US Labrador Retrievers.
