The ABCC4 gene is associated with pyometra in golden retriever dogs

Abstract Pyometra is one of the most common diseases in female dogs, presenting as purulent inflammation and bacterial infection of the uterus. On average 20% of intact female dogs are affected before 10 years of age, a proportion that varies greatly between breeds (3–66%). The clear breed predispos...
