Dog (Canis lupus familiaris) — Diabetes mellitus (hereditary; OMIA-verified species predisposition)

Source: first-hand OMIA (University of Sydney) species-specific hereditary-disorder record, saved verbatim to source_file; every claim below is a C1 byte-substring of it.

Claims

  • Species: Dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
  • Disorder: Diabetes mellitus
  • Mode of inheritance: In a textbook example of investigating the heritability and mode of inheritance of a disorder, Cai et al. (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 "polygenic, with no evidence for a single gene of large effect." The low precision of the heritability estimate is due to the relatively small numbers of animals available, namely "71 AED without DM, 47 AED with an unknown phenotype, and 38 AED with spontaneous DM".
  • Control: As concluded by Cai et al. (2019), "Breeders could successfully implement a breeding program to decrease the incidence of DM in AED."
