This study assesses the reproducibility of pathogenicity classification using the animal variant classification guidelines across three species, finding 65% reproducibility for pathogenicity and 83% clinically relevant agreement.

The paper identifies 15 genetic loci associated with gastric cancer in dogs, highlighting HDAC2, SOX2-OT, and IGF2BP2 as potential risk factors.

This paper develops and validates variant classification guidelines for animals, improving the accuracy of pathogenicity assessment in cats and eight other species.

This study uses a dense genotyping array to identify genome-wide associations for three complex feline diseases in a multi-breed cohort of cats.

The paper identifies FBXW7 mutations as a prognostic marker in canine B-cell lymphoma using exome sequencing and clinical data.

The paper improves genome-wide association studies in dogs by imputing variants from 365 whole-genome sequences, increasing marker count 130-fold and enhancing power for complex trait mapping.
