Abstract
The creation of purebred breeds of domestic animals has been accompanied by inbreeding and an increased incidence of simple genetic diseases within these breeds and animals. The veterinary profession has largely been a spectator of recent developments in companion animal genetics. A review of the current state of veterinary genetics for the small animal practitioner is provided that includes an overview of commercial DNA service providers as well as a review of information sources useful for clinical veterinary genetics.
期刊介绍:
The Canadian Veterinary Journal (CVJ) provides a forum for the discussion of all matters relevant to the veterinary profession. The mission of the Journal is to educate by informing readers of progress in clinical veterinary medicine, clinical veterinary research, and related fields of endeavor. The key objective of The CVJ is to promote the art and science of veterinary medicine and the betterment of animal health.
A report suggesting that animals have been unnecessarily subjected to adverse, stressful, or harsh conditions or treatments will not be processed for publication. Experimental studies using animals will only be considered for publication if the studies have been approved by an institutional animal care committee, or equivalent, and the guidelines of the Canadian Council on Animal Care, or equivalent, have been followed by the author(s).
