Prevalence and co-occurrence of hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia in Dutch pure-bred dogs

Breeding Against Hip and Elbow Dysplasia in Dogs

The objective of this study was to develop breeding strategies to reduce the incidence of canine hip and elbow dysplasia. For this purpose, investigations were conducted on the mode of inheritance as well as genetic parameters, genetic trends and selection differentials for the traits. Population structure and inbreeding were also examined, and finally, various selection schemes were compared b...

Prevalence of hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and humeral head osteochondrosis in dog breeds in Belgium.

The official screening results of the Belgian National Committee for Inherited Skeletal Disorders, an affiliate of the Belgian Kennel Club, have been used to estimate the prevalence of hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and humeral head osteochondrosis in the dog breeds in Belgium, and these have been compared with reported prevalence data from other countries. In some breeds, the prevalence of hip...

Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for Canine Hip Dysplasia and Canine Elbow Dysplasia in Bernese Mountain Dogs

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) on dog chromosome (CFA) 14 significantly associated with CHD and a further significan...

Elbow Dysplasia

The term “elbow dysplasia” has been coined to describe three developmental conditions, osteochondrosis/ osteochondritis dissecans (OC/OCD) of the humeral condyle, ununited anconeal process (UAP), and fragmented coronoid process (FCP), that commonly affect the elbow of many large and giant breeds of dogs. All three conditions share many clinical similarities. Lesions are often bilateral and mult...
