The incidence of copper-associated hepatitis in Labrador retriever in Japan has not been examined. This study examined the genotype frequencies of ATP7B:c.4358G>A, a mutation responsible for copper-associated hepatitis, and ATP7A:c.980C>T, a modifier of this disease, in Labrador retrievers of guide dog associations in Japan. Genetic material was collected by buccal swabs from 253 Labrador retrievers and genotyping was performed for the ATP7B and ATP7A mutations. The gene frequency was 0.107 for ...[more]
