DNA storage for CsW's
Possibility of international DNA storage and tests for CsW's
Currently, only a few DNA tests for genetic diseases in dogs of the CsW breed are available. Research is ongoing and we expect a lot more tests in the near future. For example several laboratory's are working on DNA tests for PRA, Epilepsy, Cancer, HD in different dog breeds. The owner/breeder of a dog can choose, which test he would like to have performed in his dog. Until now, a breeder/owner had to submit a separate sample from his dog (EDTA blood or swab) for each individual test. Recently, the possibility to store DNA isolated from dogs can be utilized to run a number of different genetic tests, even after some time has passed after submittal of the sample. Every owner can send 2 ml EDTA blood of his CsW to the storage lab. The lab will isolate and purify DNA, which can then be used to run an unlimited number of tests now and in the future! (in every lab an owner wishes) How an owner can store EDTA blood of his CsW:
Blood and form are then send to: LABOKLIN GmbH und Co. KG Steubenstraße 4 97688 Bad Kissingen Deutschland After the lab has received the blood they will send an owner number and the bill with info to the owner. The price:
How it works:
Conditions:
When an owner wants to perform a test of the stored DNA:
The price for a test:
Currently Laboklin has these tests available for CsW's:
Laboklin also can send DNA for the Dwarfismtest to the uni of Utrecht! Price 110 Euro (incl. shipping) -------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope we can make a start now with a kind of international DNA data base for CsW's, when we all store on the same place, while all owners remain owner of the DNA And maybe then it is possible in future to make on this site a list of all CsW's with DNA storage? When in future there are interesting test (for example PRA or epilepsy) or a lab needs blood for validation of a test for CsW, we can write about this on the forum. And every individual owner can decide to cooperate or not.
