| Â | WSAVA 2001 - Inherited Disease of the Canine Eye |
 | | The presence of an inherited disease is not only a problem for the affected dog, but also a problem for the whole breed, and as such, control measures must be accepted by the whole breed working in unison. | | | Currently, it is regular clinical examination which represents the most effective way of attempting disease control, but in the future, the DNA-based genetic tests will play an increasingly significant role. | | | The glaucoma is treated by removal of the lens, but such surgery must be completed quickly if sight is to be preserved and chronic glaucoma avoided. |

| | These techniques have totally changed research on inherited diseases. | | | Most but not all of these conditions are associated with some neurological sequelae. | | | The 19th century saw the first systemic approach to disease through the use of rational, consistent outlines for taking histories and doing physical examinations (Kark, 1983). |

| | Unfortunately, human nature is one of the biggest promoters of the spread of hereditary problems like eye disease in purebred dogs. | | | And if eye disease did become apparent, affected dogs would be culled because they could not earn their keep. | | | The use of popular sires can intensify both the positive and negative effects of line-breeding, because over time most dogs will wind up being to some degree related. |

| | For each of the inherited diseases analyzed here, gene therapy is also contrasted with both current and developing conventional therapies across four critical parameters: 1) efficacy, 2) risk, 3) ease of use, and 4) price. | | | The bulk of the study - Chapters 2 through 4 - is organized by specific inherited disease to make the analysis easy to follow. | | | Inherited Disease Gene Therapies Under Development - Transkaryotic Therapies. |

| | Leaving aside the question of the role of genetics in behavior, the results suggest that the incidence of bloat increases with the size of the dog and the depth and width of the chest cavity. | | | Research into bloat suggests that diet, behavior, and conformation may all play a role. | | | Many people label any problem that appears to be inherited a "genetic disease." However, though there are legitimate genetic diseases, there are also a variety of problems that have an inherited component, but are of a fundamentally different nature. |

| | Lipoproteins can become oxidized which enhances their ability to contribute to atherosclerosis and small LDLs are more susceptible to oxidation than large LDLs. | | | While high blood cholesterol is an important risk factor for heart disease, eighty percent of patients with heart disease have the same blood cholesterol level as those who do not develop heart disease. | | | Inherited metabolic traits are major factors contributing to atherosclerosis and a genetically linked dyslipidemia has been reported in 77% of 101 CAD patients and 54% of their first and second degree relatives which illustrates the powerful link between inheritance, lipoprotein disorders, and risk for family members (4). |

| | Huntington's disease or Huntington's chorea is an inherited disorder characterized by abnormal body movements called chorea and loss of memory. | | | Unlike many hereditary illnesses, the alleles that cause Huntington's disease are dominant--meaning that having one parent with the disease guarantees offspring a 50% chance of inheriting it--and disease alleles are fatal in 100% of individuals that inherit them. | | | Genetic testing can identify these individuals even before symptoms are present. |
