URGENT APPEAL – CAN YOU HELP?
Dear Devon Rex Breeders,
A new genetic tool is available, a DNA array, that can help us rapidly identify where the gene is on the cat chromosomes that ontrols the disease called "spasticity". We have
worked with many
breeders in the past to collect DNA samples from affected cats. We have tested over a
dozen genes but have not yet been successful finding the cause for this muscle disease.
We need your help finding a few more cats with the disease!
Please help us locate cats, so we can get DNA to test on the new DNA array.
All of our studies are CONFIDENTIAL, we please need your help.
Please contact me if you have any questions or interest in the study.
Best regards,
