  1. PDA: Patent ductus arteriosus, REFPOP: the total reference population of Stabyhoun dogs born between 2000 to 2013 and registered in database of the Dutch Kennel Club (n = 7008), Phenotyped: the population of Stabyhoun dogs that were confirmed to be either PDA positive (n = 46) or PDA negative, based on clinical examination by a resident or board certified diplomate in veterinary cardiology (n = 213), σ 2 a : the additive genetic variance, σ 2 e : the residual variance, σ 2 total 2 a + σ2 e): the phenotypic variance, h 2: narrow sense heritability, SE (h 2 ): standard error of narrow sense heritability
