A
  • Murmur grade 0,1,2 or 3+
  • Mitral valve prolapse 0,1,2 or 3
  • Dogs are assigned a risk of developing clinical MVD and a risk of passing the condition on to any offspring by a traffic light system.
  • It depends on the age at testing where the grades fall in the traffic light system.
17
Q

What is progressive retinal atrophy red cone dysplasia?

A
  • PRA rcd-1 in the Irish setter: first ever genetic defect identified, photoreceptor degeneration starts from 10 days of age, affected dog is totally blind by 1 year old, eliminated by test mating and DNA test when become available
  • PRA rcd-2: collie
  • PRA rcd-3: cardigan Welsh corgi
  • PRA rcd-4: late onset PRA in golden and Irish setters, blindness occurs at over 7 years old, now found in Australian cattle dog, English setter, polish lowland sheepdog, Tibetan terrier and small munsterlander
18
Q

What is canine leukocyte adhesion deficiency?

A
  • Inherited immunodeficiency in red and red and white setters
  • Missence CYs-36-Ser beta-2 integrin mutation
  • Autosomal recessive
  • Recurrent infections in early life, ultimately fatal
  • Eliminated from UK by DNA testing and banning of affected/homozygous and carriers/heterozygous
  • So serious are relatively rare, that the breed took the risk of losing genetic diversity
  • All registered setters bred in the UK are now hereditarily clear
19
Q

What genetic diseases does the Wickenberry galaxy have?

A

Goldings Casanova x wickenberry cyclamen

  • Hereditarily clear of PRA-rcd-1 and CLAD
  • Carrier for PRA-rcd-4
20
Q

Can a carrier and a clear animal breed?

A

Can breed. Hereditarily clear

21
Q

Can an carrier and clear animal breed?

A

Progeny must be DNA tested but can breed.

22
Q

Can an affected and clear animal breed?

A

Automatically a carrier but can breed.

23
Q

Can 2 carrier animals breed?

A

Average 25% affected. Cannot breed.

24
Q

Can an affected and a carrier animal breed?

A

Average 50% affected. Cannot breed.

25
Q

Can 2 affected animals breed?

A

100% affected. Cannot breed.

26
Q

What is inbreeding?

A

Dog breeders often practice line breeding, a form of inbreeding, to select the traits they want within the breed standard. Inbreeding is defined as the mating of genetically related individuals.

Pugs: the gene pool in the UK is 10,000 of only 50 individuals.

27
Q

What are the main problems with inbreeding?

A
  • May result in undesirable characteristics
  • Popular sure phenomenon makes it worse
  • If eliminate carrier and affected: may further restrict gene pool and may lose desirable traits
  • Are cross breeds healthier than pedigree dogs?
28
Q

What do the degrees of inbreeding indicate?

A
  • 25% for offspring of a full sib mating or a parent/offspring mating
  • 12.5% for offspring of a half sib mating
  • 6.25% for offspring for 1st cousins
  • 0% indicates a dog that comes from 2 unrelated parents, based on all available pedigree information
  • 12.5% would equate to the genetic equivalent of a dog produced from a grandfather and granddaughter mating
  • 25% would equate to the genetic equivalent of a dog produced from a father to daughter or brother to sister mating.
