Canine inbreeding

Benefits to humans – not dogs

As pedigree dogs have been inbred for many generations, most breeds suffer from serious genetic conditions. As a consequence, dogs can be used as a powerful model for human genetic disease. Genetics graduate Olivia Murray explains that by treating genetic disease in dogs, we have found solutions to human genetic conditions
