Genetic analyses of lumbosacral transitional vertebra and hip dysplasia in nine dog breeds in Norway
This study indicated that genetic factors influence LTV in several breeds and that there is a potential to reduce the prevalence by genetic selection, even if the heritability estimates of LTV ranged from low to moderate. The heritability estimates of CHD were within the range reported earlier, ranging from moderate to high. There was no general indication of a genetic correlation between LTV and CHD across breeds.
