Patients harbouring mutations in genes encoding C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP; NPPC) or its receptor guanylyl cyclase B (GC-B, NPR2) suffer from severe growth phenotypes; loss-of-function mutations cause achondroplasia, whereas gain-of-function mut...

The prevalence of growth hormone secreting pituitary tumours in domestic cats (Felis catus) is ten times greater than in humans. The predominant inhibitory receptors of growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumours are somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) and...

Breed, Coat Color, and Hair Length as Risk Factors for Hyperthyroidism in Cats (2017)
Journal Article
Crossley, V. J., Debnath, A., Chang, Y. M., Fowkes, R. C., Elliott, J., & Syme, H. M. (2017). Breed, Coat Color, and Hair Length as Risk Factors for Hyperthyroidism in Cats. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 31(4), 1028-1034. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.14737

Hyperthyroidism is very common in older cats, but the etiopathogenesis is poorly understood. Decreased risk of hyperthyroidism has been reported in certain colorpoint breeds, and this observation previously has been hypothesized to result from relati...
