Genetics of equine metabolic syndrome
Veterinary Record, 2019 Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is defined as a complex disorder characterised by a phenotype of insulin dysregulation, obesity and a predisposition toward laminitis, resulting from the combination of one or more inherited genetic alleles and environmental influences.1 Recently, a genome-wide association study (GWAS)2 identified two genetic markers ...
