Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is a debilitating developmental
disease that affects toy and miniature breeds of dog. Pain, lameness, and
muscle atrophy of the hip joint are the only easily observable indications
of the condition, and are sometimes attributed to minor trauma. LCPD is
diagnosed by examining x-rays (radiographs) of affected dogs. LCPD is difficult
to predict and prevent, but good or excellent quality of life can be acquired
with surgery. A new technology, the canine SNP array, will be used to evaluate
potential regions of the genome which may harbor the gene(s) causative
for LCPD in several miniature and toy breeds.
