  • Title: Canine leucocyte adhesion deficiency in Irish red and white setters.
    Author: Debenham SL, Millington A, Kijast J, Andersson L, Binns M.
    Journal: J Small Anim Pract; 2002 Feb; 43(2):74-5. PubMed ID: 11873952.
    Abstract:
    Seventy-six Irish red and white setter samples were tested for the recently documented CD18 point mutation which manifests as canine leucocyte adhesion deficiency (CLAD) in Irish setters. Six carrier dogs were identified, all originating from a lineage within which sporadic deaths from symptoms consistent with CLAD had been observed. This is the first demonstration that the CLAD mutation exists outside the Irish setter population, confirming that the mutation is present in a significant minority of Irish red and white setters. Routine testing by breeders to identify carrier animals will enable the eradication of CLAD from the Irish red and white setter population.
