A novel genomic region on chromosome 11 associated with fearfulness in dogs
R. Sarviaho, O. Hakosalo, et al.
This groundbreaking study, conducted by R. Sarviaho and colleagues, uncovers the genetic basis of fearfulness in Great Dane dogs. Through a genome-wide association study, the researchers identified a significant locus on chromosome 11 linked to fear, with candidate genes like MAPK9/JNK2. This research not only sheds light on canine anxiety but also serves as a promising model for understanding human anxiety disorders.
