IDENTIFICATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAIT LOCI (QTL) FOR CANINE HIP DYSPLASIA AND CANINE ELBOW DYSPLASIA IN BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOGS.

Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for canine hip dysplasia and canine elbow dysplasia in Bernese mountain dogs.

A genome-wide association study for canine hip dysplasia (CHD) and canine elbow dysplasia (CED) using the Illumina canine high density bead chip had been performed for 174 Bernese mountain dogs.General and mixed linear model analysis identified two different regions with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) read more on dog chromosome (CFA) 14 si

Chronic administration of a leupeptin-derived calpain inhibitor fails to ameliorate severe muscle pathology in a canine model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Calpains likely play a role in the pathogenesis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).Accordingly, calpain inhibition may provide therapeutic benefit to DMD patients.In the present study, we sought to measure benefit from administration of a novel calpain inhibitor, C101, in a canine muscular dystrophy model.Specifically, we tested the hypothesis th
