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 significantly associated with CHD and a further significantly CHD-associated region on CFA37.For airpods in jacksonville CED, four SNPs on CFA11 and 27 were significantly associated.

The identified SNPs of four associated regions included nearby candidate genes.These possible positional candidates were the genes PON2 on CFA14 and FN1 on CFA37 for CHD and the genes LMNB1 on CFA11 and WNT10B on CFA27 for CED.
