Clinical Research in Canine Orthopedics

Genotypic Dissection of Osteosarcoma in Irish Wolfhounds

The purpose of this study is to identify a genetic mutation associated with osteosarcoma in dogs and use this information to develop a means to predict risk.

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. [Laryngeal Paralysis Brochure]  [Laryngeal Paralysis Flyer]

Genotypic Dissection of Cruciate Rupture in Dogs

*Only able to enroll local dogs at this time

The purpose of this study is to identify genetic mutations that are associated with the non-contact cranial cruciate rupture condition in dogs and use this information to develop a genetic test for the condition. [Cruciate Ligament Brochure]

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.
