Molecular Basis of Inherited Diseases in Companion Animals

Molecular Basis of Inherited Diseases in Companion Animals

By Bannasch, Danika, Published: 2022, FileType: PDF

This book includes a collection of publications describing the molecular etiology of inherited diseases and conditions in companion animals (dogs and cats). In addition to contributing to the health of companion animals, this research also benefits humans that have similar types of diseases.

The field of companion animal genetics has evolved rapidly since the publication of the dog genome in 2005 and the cat genome in 2007. Over the past 15 years, our community has made major advances in understanding the genetic basis of many inherited diseases in companion animals. These discoveries have helped eliminate or significantly reduce the incidence of many life-limiting conditions in our pets while also demonstrating the importance of companion animal diseases as models for similar disorders in humans.

All 15 manuscripts in this Special Issue describe inherited disorders in companion animals with parallels in humans. This book celebrates the rapidly growing and evolving field of companion animal genetics by demonstrating how cutting-edge tools can be employed to help us understand the inherited basis of diseases.
