Drs. Leigh Anne Clark & Kate Tsai who are doing research on EPI trying to find a genetic marker for it are at the National. They are set up someplace near the conformation ring. Could someone on this list who has contact with someone down in Beaumont ( Kathy maybe since Ken is great with pictures) PLEASE look them up tomorrow and take a picture of them and send it to me so that we can put it up on out EPI group website. EPI research is very important. It is a MAJOR health issue in the GSD. I would really really appreciate it. Thanks!
