Abstract
Canine leucocyte adhesion deficiency (CLAD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease occurring among Irish red setters. The genetic defect causative for this disorder was recently identified as a missense mutation in the ITGB2 gene. Irish red setters with one copy of the mutant gene appear normal, while dogs with two copies of the mutant gene manifest the disease. The present report describes the analysis of the single nucleotide polymorphism in 289 Irish red setters by DNA sequencing. The frequency of CLAD carriers in Germany is 11%.
