Prevalence of diagnostic characteristics indicating canine autoimmune lymphocytic thyroiditis in giant schnauzer and hovawart dogs

Björnerfeldt, Susanne; Andersson, Göran; Nachreiner, R.; Hedhammar, Åke

Sammanfattning

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The high prevalence of diagnostic characteristics indicating CLT/hypothyroidism in these two breeds suggests a strong genetic predisposition. It would be advisable to screen potential breeding stock for TSH and TgAA as a basis for genetic health programmes to reduce prevalence of CLT in these breeds.
