We are in need of 8-12 month old dogs for this study. We have a genetic mapping resource of almost 2,000 dogs with and without hip dysplasia. With owner's written consent, we collect blood for DNA isolation from external collaborators and dogs admitted to the Cornell University Hospital for Animals for hip evaluation. We have identified chromosomal regions harboring the genes that confer susceptibility to, and protect against, canine hip dysplasia. We have discovered several markers (single nucleotide polymorphisms) that predict a dog's breeding value or genetic potential for hip conformation. We are validating these markers.
Collaborations: My laboratory also collaborates with other members of the section of small animal surgery (Drs. Ursula Krotschek, Stuart Bliss and Jeremy Rawlinson) to find better ways to repair the stifles of dogs with ruptured cranial cruciate ligaments. We have a clinical trial ongoing using force plates to measure ground reaction forces of dogs operated for this disease. If you are interested to know if your dog might qualify for the trial please contact Rhea Coe at 607-253-3098.
