摘要

美国农业部多州项目S1094（“改善马的健康、福祉和表现的基因组工具”）于2022年创建，旨在促进马遗传学和基因组学社区成员之间的协作、联网以及工具和资源的创建。在多州项目的支持下，开展了一项在线调查，以确定利益相关者对马遗传学和基因检测的了解，查询利益相关者对遗传疾病的关注，并辨别他们对遗传多样性和性能基因的兴趣。该调查通过电子邮件和社交媒体渠道分发给利益相关者，目标是来自美国的18岁或以上的马主和爱好者。共有412名受访者完成了调查。最常见的调查对象是照顾1至5匹马的主人（61%）（62.1%）。最常见的两种马是运动马（33%）和家畜马（30%）。大多数人（79.4%）认为至少对遗传学有扎实的了解。运动马、储备马和赛马的主人和爱好者对其品种或学科内的遗传多样性（分别为71.11%、69.11%和52.38%）和性能基因相关测试的开发（分别为53.33%、54.84%和66.67%）表现出浓厚的兴趣。在所有品种或学科组的受访者中，最常见的群体健康问题是关节炎、行为和气质、绞痛、板炎、代谢疾病以及肌腱和韧带问题。这些都是具有遗传成分的复杂疾病或特征，为马遗传学和基因组学社区与其他科学家合作的未来研究工作提供了机会。从受访者收集的数据将作为制定教育计划和提供资源的参考，以满足调查中询问的不同人口统计的马主和爱好者的需求。

U.S. stakeholder survey examining understanding of equine genetics and concerns for genetic diseases

The USDA Multistate Project S1094 (“Genomic Tools to Improve Equine Health, Wellbeing and Performance”) was created in 2022 to promote collaboration, networking, and creation of tools and resources among the members of the equine genetics and genomics community. Under the auspices of the multistate project, an online survey was developed to determine stakeholder understanding of equine genetics and genetic testing, query stakeholder concerns for genetic diseases, and discern their interest in genetic diversity and performance genes. The survey was distributed to stakeholders via email and social media channels, targeting horse owners and enthusiasts from the United States who were 18 years of age or older. A total of 412 respondents completed the survey. The most common survey respondent was an owner (61%) who cares for 1 to 5 horses (62.1%). The 2 most common horse categories were sport horses (33%) and stock horses (30%). Most individuals identified as having at least a solid understanding of genetics (79.4%). Sport horse, stock horse, and racing owners and enthusiasts indicated a strong interest in genetic diversity within their breed or discipline of interest (71.11%, 69.11%, and 52.38%, respectively) and in the development of tests related to performance genes (53.33%, 54.84%, and 66.67%, respectively). The most common herd health concerns for respondents across all breed or discipline groups were arthritis, behavior and temperament, colic, laminitis, metabolic diseases, and tendon and ligament issues. These are all complex diseases or characteristics that have a genetic component and represent opportunities for future research efforts involving the equine genetics and genomics community in collaboration with other scientists. The data collected from respondents will serve as a reference for developing educational programs and providing resources that meet the needs of the diverse demographic of horse owners and enthusiasts queried in the survey.
