News Finding: Once Bannasch realized what they had uncovered, she went screaming down the hall with excitement.
Paper Finding: ) both identified a significant association to the same region on CFA12.
News Context: It took meticulous combing through the genetic sequence by eye to detect the presence of an FGR4 retrogene insertion. Once Bannasch realized what they had uncovered, she went screaming down the hall with excitement. "It was kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack," she said.
Paper Context: ) both identified a significant association to the same region on CFA12. Whole genome sequencing identified a highly expressed FGF4 retrogene within this shared region. The FGF4 retrogene segregated with limb length and had an odds ratio of 51.23 (95% CI = 46.69, 56.20) for IVDD.
