Claims

• Breed: Bernese Mountain Dog (Dog)
• Disorder:
• Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial
• Clin feat: Clinical features of OCD include lameness, lameness worsened during exercise, stiffness and pain in affected joints, decreased activity levels, loss of muscle mass in affected limbs, and possible crepitus (Everts et al., 2000; van der Peijl et al. 2012; Biezyński et al., 2012; Wall et al., 2014; Murphy et al., 2019; Vezzoni and Benjamino, 2021).
