Participation Requirements: Dogs must have a confirmed diagnosis of
Sebaceous Adenitis in addition to normal parents or siblings.
We aim to determine whether risk for
sebaceous adenitis in Standard Poodles can be associated with a specific genetic makeup.
Not exact matches
Other less common possibilities for flaky skin
in dogs include ichthyosis,
sebaceous adenitis or primary seborrhoea sicca — all of which are primary keratinisation defects of the skin.
Purpose of Study:
Sebaceous adenitis is a skin disease that is seen
in many breeds but most prevalent
in the Standard Poodle, Havanese, Akita, and English Springer Spaniel.
Little is known about the mode of inheritance; that is, whether they are simple as progressive retinal atrophy and
sebaceous adenitis are
in some breeds or are, like hip dysplasia, a complex association of many genes.
Tests that are available now are x-rays to detect displaced or malformed hips, elbows, and knees; eye tests for progressive retinal atrophy; a biopsy for
sebaceous adenitis; a blood test for hypothyrodism and vonWillebrand's disease (a bleeding disorder); the BAER (1) test for deafness; and a smattering of other tests that aid
in detecting breed - specific diseases.
Also, Poodles may suffer from hip dysplasia,
sebaceous adenitis, Cushing's disease, Addison's disease, and gastric dilatation - volvulus, so be aware of the signs for those conditions
in your Clumberdoodle as well.
Other skin diseases
in Goldens include seborrhea,
sebaceous adenitis, and lick granuloma.
Breeders have made their dogs available for research
in hip and elbow dysplasia;
sebaceous adenitis (a skin disease); copper toxicosis; progressive retinal atrophy (an eye disease); epilepsy; cancer; and more — not only by providing study subjects but by submitting radiographs and other diagnostic tests to various health registries.
This project depends upon our ability to obtain DNA - containing specimens from at least 25 dogs with a confirmed diagnosis of
sebaceous adenitis,
in addition to specimens from unaffected dogs, preferably healthy close relatives.

in Standard Poodles,
Sebaceous Adenitis and Addison's Disease.»
Sebaceous adenitis is one of those puppy and dog skin conditions that is often seen
in specific breeds — especially Poodles and Akitas.
Alopecia areata,
sebaceous adenitis, and vasculitis are all autoimmune deficiencies found
in pets 4.
Or
sebaceous adenitis, a nasty disease that occurs more often
in Akitas than
in any other breed except Standard Poodles.
Skin diseases abound
in Doberman Pinschers — allergies, bacterial skin infections (pyoderma), lick granuloma, color dilution alopecia (very common
in blue Doberman Pinschers), demodectic mange
in Doberman puppies, follicular dysplasia,
sebaceous adenitis, seborrhea, pemphigus, vitiligo, calcinosis, and zinc - responsive dermatosis.
