Abstract excerpt
Cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR) is the most common cause of pelvic limb lameness in dogs. To investigate the genetic basis of canine CCLR, we conducted a genome-wide association study using a canine SNP array in Newfoundland pedigree dogs with and without CCLR (n = 96). We identified three main chromosomal regions of CCLR association (on chromosomes 1, 3 and 33). Each of these regions was confirmed by...
