A genome-wide association study demonstrates significant genetic variation for fracture risk in Thoroughbred racehorses

BACKGROUND: Thoroughbred racehorses are subject to non-traumatic distal limb bone fractures that occur during racing and exercise. Susceptibility to fracture may be due to underlying disturbances in bone metabolism which have a genetic cause. Fracture risk has been shown to be heritable in several s...
