2e Update Dwarfism - Februari 2009

saschia · 09-02-2009, 14:52

I have a not very important question - did the university do only test for the known genetic marker only, or did they do also some other test for dwarfism (like hormone level or something) to rule it out completely?

Unfortunately, I cannot help you in any way, as I don't speak French or German (OK, I do, but terribly) and don't know the person. And my pups were few, but big and growing fast...

They did only make the test to find the DNA marker for dwarfism.

When they can test blood of a proven carrier of this gen mutation, then they only can say if it is the same mutated gen or not.
(Hypophysis tests aso are only interesting to do on a dwarf himself.)

Ah, for some reason I thought not the bitch but the pups were tested... Of course in carrier the physiological / biochemical screens for dwarfism would be negative...

I did translate this topic for the German forum but I don´t think I will have the time before Wednesday to do the whole threat. And my French is not worth talking about.
