Genetics of endocrine diseases in Miniature Schnauzer : (Review of literature)

Abstract

I have studied general endocrinology in several textbooks, read scientific papers and studies done on genetics on its own and in connection with endocrinology, I have also looked at books, and the English kennel club webpage to learn more about the Miniature Schnauzer as a breed. Here I have listed the nine endocrine disorders that are believed to have a genetic background. The first four on the list have a high frequency in the Miniature Schnauzer.
