Abstract excerpt
Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a common, severe pruritic and inflammatory skin disease and is a major veterinary welfare issue. This study genotyped 97 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 25 candidate genes in 659 dogs across eight breeds from three locations (UK, USA and Japan). These genes were selected from hAD literature, and previous cAD gene expression experiments. The aim of this study was to...
