    Keywords : canis familiaris; autoimmune disease; thyroiditis; genes;

    Abstract : The overall aim with this project is to apply a candidate gene approach to identify genes predisposing for the autoimmune disease, canine lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT). Individuals clinically diagnosed either as CLT-affected or as healthy non-affected controls were analyzed from two birth cohorts of the breeds Giant Schnauzer and Hovawart, breeds that both has high incidence of CLT.
