Canine and feline P‐glycoprotein deficiency: What we know and where we need to go

Abstract excerpt

In 2001 the molecular genetic basis of so-called "ivermectin sensitivity" in herding breed dogs was determined to be a P-glycoprotein deficiency caused by a genetic variant of the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene often called "the MDR1 mutation."
