Abstract excerpt
A previous genome-wide association study identified regions on canine chromosome (cfa) 13 and 14 associated with early onset myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS). In the present study, whole genome sequencing (WGS) of 9 CKCS cases (mitral regurgitation (MR) before 4.5 years or congestive heart failure (CHF) at any age due to MMVD) and 10 CKCS controls (no or mild MR...
