1. Genetic Predispositions & Genomic Risks
Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) studies identify 12 significant risk loci:
POMC Gene Deletion: Present in 18% of Poms, correlates with obesity (OR=3.2)
ADAMTS17 Mutation: 23% carrier rate for pr...

1. Skeletal Structure & Proportions
Pomeranians exhibit a distinct quadrupedal square build with a 1:1 body length-to-height ratio, though selective breeding has introduced subtle variations:
Skull: Brachycephalic index of 85-90 (mesati...
