Researchers working on the JKD gene
Norway
Prof Frode Lingaas, NMBU Veterinærhøgskolen, BASAM-Genetikk, Bldg 14, 2nd floor, Ullevålsveien 72, 0454, Oslo
Sweden
Katarina Tengvall, Dept. of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology (IMBIM), Biomedical Centre (BMC), Uppsala University, Husargatan 3, Box 582, SE-751 23 Uppsala
USA
Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, Broad Institute, 415 Main Street, Cambridge, MA 02142 USA
UK
RESEARCH PROPOSAL
There have been several attempts to find the gene for JKD. None have been successful. This may be due to any one of a number of genetic (DNA) difficulties, or to the lack of full understanding of the disease itself. Boxerjkd.com has attracted a top nephrologist to help with the latter.
The work will require fading puppies and post mortem kidneys from affected older dogs.
This notice constitutes an appeal to Boxer breeders for help with collection of such material, all in absolute confidence.
