DNA testing for copper toxicosis in Bedlington terriers.
Copper toxicosis is an hereditary disease in which failure of the liver to expel dietary copper leads to a build-up of this toxic metal causing illness and death. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. As such, two copies of the defective gene, one inherited from each parent, need to be present before an individual displays clinical signs. Dogs with one copy of the defective gene and ...
متن کاملIdentification of a new copper metabolism gene by positional cloning in a purebred dog population.
Domesticated animal species such as dogs and cats, with their many different characteristics and breed-specific diseases, and their close relationship and shared environment with humans, are a potentially rich source for the identification of the genetic contribution to human biology and disease. Copper toxicosis in Bedlington terriers is a genetic disease occurring with a high prevalence world...
متن کاملAnimal models of copper-associated liver disease
Recent advances in molecular biology have made possible the identification of genetic defects responsible for Wilson's disease, Indian childhood cirrhosis and copper toxicosis in Long Evans Cinnamon rats, toxic milk mice, and Bedlington terriers. The Wilson's disease gene is localized on human chromosome 13 and codes for ATP7B, a copper transporting P-type ATPase. A genetic defect similar to th...
متن کاملPrevalence and Clinical Relevance of Exon 2 Deletion of COMMD1 in Bedlington Terriers in Korea
BACKGROUND Deletion of exon 2 of copper metabolism domain containing 1 (COMMD1) results in copper toxicosis in Bedlington terriers (CT-BT). OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to identify the prevalence and clinical relevance of the COMMD1 mutation in Bedlington terriers in Korea. ANIMALS A total of 105 purebred Bedlington terriers (50 males, 55 females) from the kennels and pet dog clubs i...
متن کاملUse of 64copper measurements to diagnose canine copper toxicosis.
Inherited canine copper toxicosis is a serious problem in Bedlington terriers and West Highland White terriers, and may also be a problem in other less-studied breeds. Affected dogs become ill at midlife with progressive and ultimately fatal liver disease. Treatments for removal of copper and prevention of copper accumulation are available, but are most effective if begun before the dog becomes...
