Abstract

Meeting report from the Companion Animal Genetic Health conference 2018 (CAGH 2018): a healthy companionship: the genetics of health in dogs

Highlights

  • As well as informing veterinary and possibly human medicine, these studies will be important for complex diseases such as cancer that may not be amenable to DNA tests, but that research will inform in terms of diagnosis and treatment. This inaugural meeting of geneticists, clinicians and epidemiologists encompassed discussion, presentations and abstracts from researchers working predominantly in the field of canine genetics and health, and included representatives working in feline genomics

  • Following the success of this inaugural meeting, Companion Animal Genetic Health (CAGH) organisers are looking to repeat the event in the summer of 2020 with the ambition to appeal to the wider companion animal veterinary research community

  • We present here a summary of the meeting in which we will discuss its central themes, referring to the accompanying abstracts in this issue of the Journal, and the directions in which the field is moving in relation to these themes
