TiHo researchers, research prior to meeting
The Institute for animal breeding and genetics research of the
Foundation School of Veterinary Medicine Hanover, under the direction of
Prof. Dr. Ottmar Distl, it is together with the Association of German
Shepherd dogs (SV), the Society for the Promotion kynologischer Research
(GKF) and the Association for German Hundewesen (VDH) succeeded genetic
markers to develop, with the German shepherd dogs in the assessment for
H=FCftgelenkdysplasie (HD) can be established. The H=FCftgelenkdysplasie i=
n
dogs is the most important disease of the movement's institutions. It
comes in all races, is at large and fast-growing but often breeds more
pronounced. The hereditary disease results from an aberration of the hip
joint and leads patients to severe pain during the movement.
On Wednesday, 2 April 2008, from 9:45 am, the scientists presented their
current research findings in the auditorium of the Institute of Pathology,
B=FCnteweg 17 to a broad audience breeders and veterinarians. At the
meeting, we invite you warmly.
The elucidation of the molecular genetic disease at the same time serves
as a model to show how it is possible diseases caused by the interaction
of many genes and complex metabolic processes, with molecular genetic
techniques to combat. Through the application of the new test procedure,
it will be possible to selectively breed and thus inherited
H=FCftgelenkdysplasie back at the dog. In continuation to the researchers
new insights into the origins of the disease and thus win approaches for
the development of new therapeutic approaches and develop preventive
measures.
With no other animal we have such an extensive knowledge of physical
features, behavioral characteristics and inherited diseases such as Small
dog. About a hundred molecular genetic diseases have been explored. But it
is only about individual genes, complex disorders were at the dog has not
yet been elucidated with molecular methods. Even when people are
genetically complex diseases, such as joints, cardiovascular diseases and
cancer, difficult to process, the dog can be used as a model for diseases
in humans. That speaks well that dogs is a very similar environment with
the people and therefore share similar environmental conditions and living
conditions are like humans.
The President of the Foundation of Veterinary Medicine Hannover Dr.
Gerhard Greif, together with the President of the Association of German
Shepherd dogs Wolfgang Henke, Christofer Habig, president of the
Association of the German dog care, open the event.
