General information
Despite all being descendants of the grey wolf, the many breeds of the domestic dog are extremely diverse in terms of body size and weight. Size is a highly complex trait, influenced by a wide array of factors. However, research has shown that a significant part of body size variation in dog breeds can be linked to seven specific genetic markers. This test analyses for one of these markers.
The marker analysed in this test is located on the site of the insulin-like growth factor-1 antisense non-coding RNA (IGF1-AS).
Clinical features
Dogs carrying at least one T allele for this marker tend to have a greater body size and weight than dogs carrying only the C allele.
Additional information
This trait is of multifactorial origin; the described features are the result of a combination of factors from several genes and the environment.
