Genomic Prediction of Two Complex Orthopedic Traits Across Multiple Pure and Mixed Breed Dogs.

ABSTRACT: Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) and rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament (RCCL) are two complex inherited orthopedic traits of dogs. These two traits may occur concurrently in the same dog. Genomic prediction of these two diseases would benefit veterinary medicine, the dog's owner, and dog breeders because of their high prevalence, and because both traits result in painful debilitating osteoarthritis in affected joints. In this study, 842 unique dogs from 6 breeds with hip and stifle phenotypes were genotyped on a customized Illumina high density 183 k single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array and also analyzed using an imputed dataset of 20,487,155 SNPs. To implement genomic prediction, two different statistical methods were employed: Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (GBLUP) and a
