Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The cause of immune-mediated myositis (IMM), characterized by recurrent, rapid-onset muscle atrophy in Quarter Horses (QH), is unknown. The histopathologic hallmark of IMM is lymphocytic infiltration of myofibers. The purpose of this study was to identify putative functional variants associated with equine IMM. METHODS: A genome-wide association (GWA) study was performed on 36 IMM QHs and 54 breed...
