Heterozygosity testing and multiplex DNA panel screening as a potential tool to monitor health and inbreeding in a small, closed dog population
1 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Selective breeding in populations with a limited effective population size may result in a loss of genetic diversity, which can cause an increased concentration of specific disease liability genes. The Dutch Shepherd Dog (DSD) in the Netherlands is an example of such a breed with a small effective population. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the measurement of genetic diversity and multiplex DNA panel screening...
