 The importance of this Research
With two breeds identified with the HD genetic markers, a similar methodology employed should help them identify more breeds faster!
HD in Yorkies according to the offa data base is as follows: Note that only 103 evaluations were done as compared to 561 on Patellas and LCP fewer still at 93. Also please note that these evaluations represent only those breeders who agree to post the results. Note the ranking for LP at No2. Not surprising at all they are ranked No 2 against all breeds for this condition - Pomerians beat them for the No 1 spot. Oh and btw you don't want to be at the top of the list here when we are talking about diseases. The accumulated numbers run from 1974 to December 2013. Very few evaluations done and submitted given the popularity of this breed!
