(2019) estimated heritability of diabetes mellitus (DM) in American Eskimo Dogs (AED) to be 0.62 (95% posterior interval 0.01-0.99) and the mode of inheritance to be &quot;polygenic, with no evidence for a single gene of large effect.&quot; The low precision of the heritability estimate is due to the relatively small numbers of animals available, namely &quot;71 AED without DM, 47 AED with an unknown phenotype, and 38 AED with spontaneous DM&quot;.`\n- `Control: As concluded by Cai et al. (2019), \"Breeders could successfully implement a breeding program to decrease the incidence of DM in AED.\"`\n## Evidence (references)\nDerived from OMIA database dump (omia.xml, local); structured field, not verbatim prose.
