| Popis: | Korean army dogs are raised for special purposes and have contributed much to society. However, several diseases occur in dogs. Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is a musculoskeletal disorder that occurs frequently in Korean army dogs and interferes with their activities. If we could control CHD, this would have a positive effect on their performance. This study performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 69 Korean army dogs to find significant loci for CHD using 170K single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). CHD was classified according to the Norberg angle criterion. The control group comprised 62 dogs classified as relatively normal, and 7 dogs with severe CHD formed the case group. From the GWAS analysis, we concluded that SNPs present on chromosome 4 might have a significant impact on the overall expression of canine hip dysplasia. |
