Cancer in mixed breeds- >>I suppose it could be some sort of recessive protective gene that occurs in some pure-bred breeds. Generally we assume mutations specific to a breed are all deleterious, but I don't see any reason why there couldn't be an occasional exception<< That's exactly why I was interested. I could understand recessive protection in some breeds, but all? Huskies are the only breed that have a higher incidence of cancer than mixed-breeds. So this probably isn't the explanation. Thanks for the link to dog genome and disease - perfect for a very slow Friday!
