Journal Article
Denyer, A. L., Massey, J. P., Davison, L. J., Ollier, W. E. R., Catchpole, B., & Kennedy, L. J. (2020). Dog leucocyte antigen (DLA) class II haplotypes and risk of canine diabetes mellitus in specific dog breeds. Canine Medicine and Genetics, 7(1), 15. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40575-020-00093-9

Abstract: Background: Canine diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common endocrine disease in domestic dogs. A number of pathological mechanisms are thought to contribute to the aetiopathogenesis of relative or absolute insulin deficiency, including immune-me...

Polymorphisms in the CTLA4 promoter sequence are associated with canine hypoadrenocorticism (2020)
Journal Article
Boag, A. M., Short, A., Kennedy, L. J., Syme, H., Graham, P. A., & Catchpole, B. (2020). Polymorphisms in the CTLA4 promoter sequence are associated with canine hypoadrenocorticism. Canine Medicine and Genetics, 7(2), https://doi.org/10.1186/s40575-020-0081-4

Canine hypoadrenocorticism is an immune-mediated endocrinopathy that shares both clinical and pathophysiological similarities with Addison’s disease in humans. Several dog breeds are overrepresented in the disease population, suggesting that a geneti...
