Clinical Research in Genetics

Genotypic Dissection of Laryngeal Paralysis in Dogs

The purpose of this study is to identify genetic mutations that are associated with the laryngeal paralysis condition in dogs and use this information to develop a genetic test for the condition.

Genotypic Dissection of Non-Contact Cruciate Rupture in Dogs

The purpose of this study is to identify genetic mutations that are associated with the cruciate rupture condition in dogs and use this information to develop a genetic test for the condition.

Genetics of Fibrotic Myopathy in the German Shepherd Dog

The purpose of this study is to identify genetic mutation associated with the fibrotic myopathy condition in dogs and use this information to develop a genetic test for the condition.

Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Disease (DSLD) in the Horse

A clinical study investigating the genetic basis for degenerative suspensory ligament disease (DSLD) in the horse. We are collecting a nasal or oral tissue swab from each study horse and isolating the DNA from these samples. The DNA will be used to perform genomic genotyping of each horse. The data will be analyzed for a genetic association with the DSLD condition.
