Abstract excerpt
Although genetic factors contribute to behavioral variation in working dogs, the underlying molecular determinants remain poorly understood. The sortilin-related VPS10 domain-containing receptor 1 (SORCS1) gene is highly expressed in the central nervous system and has been implicated in neuronal signaling and synaptic regulation. A preliminary genome-wide association study suggested an association between SORCS1...
