One PALS version is available. Dr. Oberbauer's Five Month Progress Report to AKC CHF in October 2000 is essentially the same as reported in the fall seminar. Namely, there appears to be a major gene of large effect influencing the expression of Addison's disease in the Bearded Collie. Before going on to the definitive research, the researchers need adequate representation of both families of Addisonian affected dogs, and families in which Addison's is rare. Comparison within families of healthy to affected littermates as well as healthy to affected families is what makes discovery of DNA markers possible.
All information is retained confidentially by the research laboratory.
Only requisite - a pedigree or at least name of sire and dam. This functions the same way as a mailing list. We appreciate your interest and we hope that you will join the effort to improve health of Bearded Collies.
