Congenital myotonic myopathy in the miniature schnauzer: an autosomal recessive trait

Article Abstract:

Myotonia is a clinical sign indicated by a delay in skeletal muscle relaxation following the ending of voluntary or involuntary activity. It has been described in the mouse, horse, cat, goat, horse and dog and can be congenital. A new study examines several related miniature schnauzers with congenital myotonic myopathy. Results of constructing a pedigree of the affected litters show an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.

Use of canine microsatellite polymorphisms in forensic examinations

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze the use of canine microsatellite polymorphisms in forensic examination. Polymerase chain reaction was carried out for three different loci. The PCR products were then denatured by adding three volumes of SSCP loading buffer at 94 degrees C. Experimental results indicated the possibility of excluding candidates by the SSCP-analysis of polymorphic canine microsatellites.
