Umbilical hernia (UH) is one of the most prevalent defects of swine, affecting their welfare and causing considerable economic loss. The molecular mechanisms behind UH in pigs remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to verify the association between UH and previously reported DNA variants in the CAPN9, OSM, ITGAM, and NUGGC genes. A case/control study design was applied in two different...
The molecular background of disorders of sex development (DSD) in dogs is poorly understood. Several copies of the SRY genes have been reported in the dog genome. We used droplet digital PCR with the aim of determining variability in SRY copy number and its association with DSD in dogs. Altogether 19 DSD male dogs (XY DSD) of 10 breeds and 87 control dogs of eight breeds were analyzed. Moreover, we...
