Inheritance of canine hip dysplasia: review of estimation methods and of heritability estimates and prospects on further developments.

Abstract excerpt

Canine hip dysplasia is a long-known, widespread degenerative skeletal disease. A hereditary component of hip dysplasia was assumed early, although attempts to explain hip dysplasia with known Mendelian modes of inheritance did not sufficiently fit the data observed. Nevertheless, both recessive and dominant modes of inheritance were proposed. Later on, it was proposed that CHD was determined in a multifactorial...
