OBJECTIVE: To establish the allele frequency of the PLL-causing G>A intron 10 ADAMTS17 mutation in the Portuguese Podengo population in the UK and investigate a possible correlation between the mutation and short stature.
METHODS: Two groups of dogs (Group 1 and Group 2) were recruited for the purpose of the study. Group 1 (n = 40) consisted of dogs which were genotyped only and Group 2 (n = 42) consisted of dogs which were genotyped, underwent a full ophthalmological examination and also had their height measured at the withers.
RESULTS: In Group 1, genotyping for the ADAMTS17:c.1473+1G>A mutation confirmed 1/40 homozygous for the mutated allele (-/-), 7/40 heterozygous for the mutated allele (+/-), and 32/40 homozygous for the wild-type allele (+/+) dogs. In Group 2, genotyping of the dogs confirmed 6/42 heterozygous for the mutated allele (+/-) and homozygous for the wild-type allele (+/+) dogs. In total, 1/82 (1.2%) dogs were confirmed to be homozygous for the mutated allele, 13/82 (15.8%) heterozygous for the mutated allele and 68/82 (83%) homozygous for the wild-type allele. The frequency of the mutated allele across both groups was calculated as 0.09. A statistically significant correlation between the mutation and short stature could not be established (p = .590).
CONCLUSIONS: The frequency of the mutation calculated in this study (0.09) is high. Genetic testing should be considered for each dog prior to breeding with a view of selective breeding.
