Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous reports associated 2 mutant SOD1 alleles (SOD1:c.118A and SOD1:c.52T) with degenerative myelopathy in 6 canine breeds. The distribution of these alleles in other breeds has not been reported. OBJECTIVE: To describe the distribution of SOD1:c.118A and SOD1:c.52T in 222 breeds. ANIMALS: DNA from 33,747 dogs was genotyped at SOD1:c.118, SOD1:c.52, or both. Spinal cord sections from 249 of these...
