GIVE A DOG A GENOME
The Large Munsterlander Club are taking part in The Animal Health Trust “Give a Dog a Genome”
This is the latest correspondence from the team:-
Dear Lynn,
Thank you for summarising the health concerns you have for the Large Munsterlander. For each condition/concern we have considered a number of factors including:
· Is it a particular concern for the breed?
· Is it highly prevalent in the breed?
· Is there any existing scientific (genetic or clinical) evidence?
· Is it relevant to any of our current areas of interest?
· Is it relevant to the work being conducted by other scientists?
· Is sequencing of a single dog likely to be beneficial or helpful in any way?
After considering all of the evidence available we have decided that at the moment it will be most useful to sequence a dog with hereditary cataracts.
Fortunately we already have high quality DNA from a suitable dog available to us and we therefore do not need to obtain any samples at this time.
If you have any questions or concerns please email me on gdg@aht.org.uk.
Yours faithfully,
Louise and the rest of the Give a Dog a Genome Team
