Investigation of the association of the MLPH gene with seasonal canine flank alopecia in Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs.

Canine Med Genet

Expertise Centre of Genetics, Department of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Article Synopsis
  • Canine flank alopecia (CFA) is a recurring skin condition in dogs, particularly affecting breeds like the Rhodesian Ridgeback, and is characterized by hair loss and skin darkening without inflammation.
  • A study analyzed 24 dogs with CFA and 12 healthy controls, finding evidence of genetic inheritance but no significant differences linked to the melanophylin (MLPH) gene.
  • Though pedigree analysis suggested a genetic influence on CFA, the MLPH gene was not implicated, indicating the need for further research to understand the genetic basis of CFA in these dogs.
