Though many diseases include CID, the type of clinical presentation and tissue patterns expressed from disease to disease varies. In this study, we evaluate the commonalities and discrepancies in significantly expressed biomarkers across several CID conditions to examine their impact on clinical presentations in canines. Among the uniquely expressed genes in each disease, we observed significantly expressed <jats:italic>IFNG<\/jats:italic> in Discoid Lupus Erythematosus, <jats:italic>TRAT1<\/jats:italic> in Epitheliotropic Lymphoma, and <jats:italic>CXCL8<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>CSF3R<\/jats:italic> in pemphigus affected dogs.
