Research Update End-Year-1 CHF-02403-MOU: Microphthalmia and Delayed Growth Syndrome in the Portuguese Water Dog
Research update for Microphthalmia and Delayed Growth Syndrome project at University of Pennsylvania provides news that project is progressing and DNA samples on file will be submitted for a genome wide association study (GWAS). Researchers are particularly interested in DNA (blood) samples from affected puppies and producer parents. They are also very interested in obtaining samples from bitches and dogs that have been bred to known producers but have never produced any affected puppies themselves. Ideally, these (presumptive “clear”) breeding bitches or dogs would have produced over 16 normal puppies and no affected puppies when bred to known producers (carriers).
Research Update Mid-Year-1 CHF-02403-MOU: Microphthalmia and Delayed Growth Syndrome in the Portuguese Water Dog
Research update for Microphthalmia and Delayed Growth Syndrome project at University of Pennsylvania provides news that project is progressing and more DNA samples of affected puppies are needed. Preliminary findings indicate males and females can be affected, although females predominate (about 70%). Preliminary pedigree studies suggest an autosomal recessive inheritance.
Research Update End-Year-1 CHF 02317: The Role of Complex Translocations Associated with TP53 Somatic Mutations for Aiding Prognosis of Canine Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma
Research update and the end of the first year from Dr. Matthew Breen looking at prediction of prognosis and outcome for various forms of lymphoma.
Research Update End Year 1 – Grant 02292: Broad-Range Detection of Canine Tick-Borne Disease and Improved Diagnostics Using Next-Generation Sequencing
Dr. Pedro Paul Diniz, DVM, PhD provides an update at the end of his first year looking for improved diagnostics for tick-borne disease using genetic sequencing.
