Article Synopsis
  • - Whole exome sequencing (WES) is increasingly used to identify genetic causes of inherited disorders in humans and has been applied to dog genetics as well.
  • - The study focused on neuroaxonal dystrophy (NAD) in Papillon dogs, identifying 10 candidate mutations by sequencing affected and unaffected dogs, of which one mutation (PLA2G6 c.1579G>A) was linked to the disease.
  • - The findings suggest that this mutation not only contributes to NAD in dogs but also aligns with a known human gene associated with a similar disease, highlighting WES's effectiveness for studying rare hereditary conditions in canines.

We investigated the epidemiological characteristics of intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH) in Japan in a large population using a retrospective study. The sample population was dogs (n=297) with IVDH in Japan. Medical records were reviewed for breed, sex, age, affected interspace and neurological severity.
