Inheritance: Peteresen et al. (2015) estimated the heritability of this disorder in English Cocker Spaniels to be "moderate to high, i.e., 0.22 to 0.51" Bellamy et al. (2021) estimated the heritability in Havanese dogs in Norway to be high, varing "between 0.276 (linear model) and 0.720 (Bayesian threshold model)." Joergensen et al. (2022) estimated the heritability in Staffordshire bull terriers: "The pedigree-based heritability was ~ 0.22 (on the underlying scale ~ 0.48), while the genomic-based heritability (on the underlying scale) was ~ 0.47, and ~ 0.37 when excluding close relatives with equal affection status."
