No evidence that long runs of homozygosity tend to harbor risk variants for polygenic obesity in Labrador retriever dogs.

Abstract excerpt

Canine polygenic obesity can be influenced by relatively recent mutations with large effects. We determined whether, as with monogenic diseases, long autozygous tracts may be disproportionately likely to harbor detrimental variants for additive polygenic obesity in Labrador retriever dogs. Both our detection of runs of homozygosity (ROH) and our preliminary association study were based on whole-genome sequencing...
