SCC

A study building on previous research at the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory has found the DDB2 genetic risk factor for ocular squamous cell carcinoma in an additional three breeds of horse.

A new study by a team of Veterinary Genetics Laboratory researchers and collaborators has provided functional evidence that a mutation in a UV damage DNA repair gene gives rise to equine ocular squamous cell carcinoma.

A new study by researchers at the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory investigated the occurrence of ocular squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the Belgian breed to determine if the mutation known to be associated with ocular SCC in Haflingers is also a risk factor for the same condition in Belgian horses.
