UC Davis Canine Gene Study: Cleft Palate, Cleft Lip in Dogs
http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/cghg/projects.php http://www.akcchf.org/research/particip ... tives.html Quote: Canine Cleft Palate The Bannasch Laboratory at the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine is conducting a study to identify the genes responsible for cleft palate and cleft lip in all breeds of dog. Cleft palate and cleft lip are common birth defects characterized by the failure of the roof of the mouth and/or lip to fuse during development. Puppies born with these conditions can have difficulty nursing and can have complications such as mal-nourishment and aspiration pneumonia. In order to identify the genes involved in these birth defects we are in need of samples from all breeds of dog. We are collecting blood or tissue samples from: Dogs with cleft palate and/or lip Parents and littermates of affected dogs If you are interested in submitting samples or have questions please contact: Zena Wolf Email: ztwolf@ucdavis.edu Previous cleft palate gene study done by UC-Davis- http://www.akcchf.org/research/funded-r ... /1424.html |

Good info Jaci.  Hoping people don't need it, but reality is that it will pop up periodically. |
