GENETIC TEST FOR LIVER COPPER ACCUMULATION IN DOGS AND LOW COPPER PET DIET

The present invention provides a method of testing a dog to determine the likelihood that the dog is protected from liver copper accumulation, comprising detecting in a sample the presence or absence in the genome of the dog of one or more polymorphisms selected from (a) SNP ATP7a_Reg3_F_6 (SEQ ID N...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a method of testing a dog to determine the likelihood that the dog is protected from liver copper accumulation, comprising detecting in a sample the presence or absence in the genome of the dog of one or more polymorphisms selected from (a) SNP ATP7a_Reg3_F_6 (SEQ ID NO:142) and (b) one or more polymorphisms in linkage disequilibrium with (a).
