OMIA:000330-9615 : Elbow dysplasia in Canis lupus familiaris (dog)

Categories: Skeleton phene (incl. short stature & teeth)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: no

Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Inheritance: Baers et al. (2019) conducted a quantitative genetic analysis of "elbow data from 130,117 dogs over 2 years old representing 17 breeds . . . obtained from the database of the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals". They reported "Heritability estimates for unilateral elbow dysplasia varied between breeds (ranging from 0.01 to 0.36) and were similar between the left and right elbows. The estimated genetic correlation between disease in the left and right elbow ~1 in the majority of breeds".

Mapping: Pfahler and Distl (2012) reported a GWAS on 174 Bernese Mountain dogs that had been phenotyped on the IEWG's 4-point elbow-dysplasia scale, each genotyped with the Illumina HD beadchip, which yielded 96,412 SNPs for inclusion in the analysis. Two regions were highlighted on chromosome CFA11 and one on CFA27. Based on known function, the list of genes in those regions was reduced to just two functional positional candidates which are undergoing close examination.

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing

Control: A large-scale analysis of "data from dogs of six breeds [Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd Dog, Rottweiler, Bernese Mountain Dog), and Newfoundland] scored [in the BVA/KC Hip and Elbow Dysplasia grading schemes] from 1990 to present" by James et al. (2020) "demonstrated evidence of improving genetic trends with respect to hip score and elbow grade in [the above] six UK registered breeds in line with phenotypic improvements and participation in screening schemes."
