Database question - who did it?

The biggest diffuculty with testing for PD for owners in the US, is that the only lab in the world testing for it is in Holland, and they require fresh blood (not an FTA card). The logistics are...difficult. The University of Missouri is currently collecting blood samples from dwarves and their family (parents, siblings, grandparents) for free, so maybe in the future we can also have a test also.

As far as I know you can also send isolated DNA, so for example Laboklin has the test in their offer.
