The Silkie chicken is the most widespread and well-studied breed displaying this phenotype. The presence of the dominant FM allele results in extensive pigmentation of the dermal layer of skin and the majority of internal connective tissue. Here we identify the causal mutation of FM as an inverted duplication and junction of two genomic regions separated by more than 400 kb in wild-type individuals. One of these duplicated regions contains endothelin 3 (EDN3), a gene with a known role in promoting melanoblast proliferation. We show that EDN3 expression is increased in the developing Silkie embryo during the time in which melanoblasts are migrating, and elevated levels of expression are maintained in the adult skin tissue. We have examined four different chicken breeds from both Asia and Europe displaying dermal hyperpigmentation and conclude that the same structural variant underlies this phenotype in all chicken breeds. This complex genomic rearrangement causing a specific monogenic trait in the chicken illustrates how novel mutations with major phenotypic effects have been reused during breed formation in domestic animals.}, number={12}, journal={PLOS GENETICS}, author={Dorshorst, Ben and Molin, Anna-Maja and Rubin, Carl-Johan and Johansson, Anna M. and Stromstedt, Lina and Pham, Manh-Hung and Chen, Chih-Feng and Hallbook, Finn and Ashwell, Chris and Andersson, Leif}, year={2011}, month={Dec} } @article{johansson_gardner_atkins_lafevers_breuhaus_2007, title={Cardiovascular effects of acute pulmonary obstruction in horses with recurrent airway obstruction}, volume={21}, ISSN={["0891-6640"]}, DOI={10.1892/0891-6640(2007)21[302:CEOAPO]2.0.CO;2}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY INTERNAL MEDICINE}, author={Johansson, Anna M. and Gardner, Sarah Y. and Atkins, Clarke E. and LaFevers, D.

Furosemide is routinely administered as IV or IM bolus doses 3-4 times a day. Administration PO is often suggested as an alternative, even though documentation of absorption and efficacy in horses is lacking. This study was carried out in a randomized, crossover design and compared 8-hour urine volume among control horses that received placebo, horses that received furosemide at 1 mg/kg PO, and horses that received furosemide at 1 mg/kg IV. Blood samples for analysis of plasma furosemide concentrations, PCV, and total solids were obtained at specific time points from treated horses. Furosemide concentrations were determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescent detection. Systemic availability of furosemide PO was poor, erratic, and variable among horses. Median systemic bioavailability was 5.4% (25th percentile, 75th percentile: 3.5, 9.6). Horses that received furosemide IV produced 7.4 L (7.1, 7.7) of urine over the 8-hour period. The maximum plasma concentration of 0.03 microg/mL after administration PO was not sufficient to increase urine volume compared with control horses (1.2 L [1.0, 1.4] PO versus 1.2 L [1.0, 1.4] control). There was a mild decrease in urine specific gravity within 1-2 hours after administration of furosemide PO, and urine specific gravity was significantly lower in horses treated with furosemide PO compared with control horses at the 2-hour time point. Systemic availability of furosemide PO was poor and variable. Furosemide at 1 mg/kg PO did not induce diuresis in horses.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY INTERNAL MEDICINE}, author={Johansson, AM and Gardner, SY and Levine, JF and Papich, MG and LaFevers, DH and Goldman, RB and Sheets, MK and Atkins, CE}, year={2004}, pages={739–743} } @article{johansson_gardner_levine_papich_lafevers_fuquay_reagan_atkins_2003, title={Furosemide continuous rate infusion in the horse: Evaluation of enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects}, volume={17}, ISSN={["1939-1676"]}, DOI={10.1892/0891-6640(2003)017<0887:FCRIIT>2.3.CO;2}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY INTERNAL MEDICINE}, author={Johansson, AM and Gardner, SY and Levine, JF and Papich, MG and LaFevers, DH and Fuquay, LR and Reagan, VH and Atkins, CE}, year={2003}, pages={887–895} } @article{johansson_gardner_jones_fuquay_reagan_levine_2003, title={Hypomagnesemia in hospitalized horses}, volume={17}, ISSN={["1939-1676"]}, DOI={10.1892/0891-6640(2003)017<0860:HIHH>2.3.CO;2}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY INTERNAL MEDICINE}, author={Johansson, AM and Gardner, SY and Jones, SL and Fuquay, LR and Reagan, VH and Levine, JF}, year={2003}, pages={860–867} }
