Subject: Re: Bloat/Torsion DNA MARKER..LONG
Most of these kinds of studies start with one breed...if there is
success at identifying a marker, the researchers can then move on to
other breeds. It is easier to work within one breed at first, I believe.

JAMIE: PEGGY IS CORRECT.. WE HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF FINDING IT , BY
RESEARCHING THE SAME BREED AND PARTICULARLY BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH VALUABLE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE EARLY GSD GENERATIONS , AND THOSE OF WHICH WE KNOW WERE
AFFECTED SO THAT WE CAN TRACE IT RIGHT DOWN, PEDIGREE-WISE, WHICH ALSO
SIMPLIFIES
THE PROCESS.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT GERMAN SHEPHERDS HAVE EVER BEEN RESEARCHED AS AN
EXCULSIVE BREED. THIS WILL BE A FIRST!!!! HOPEFULLY THEY CAN DETERMINE NOT ONLY
THE DNA MARKER BUT THE WAY BLOAT/TORSION IS INHERITED..
THAT WILL BE A GREAT BENEFIT TO THE BREED. I HAVE PERSONALLY, LONG BELIEVED,
IT IS INHERITED AS A DOMINANT GENE WITH LIMITED PENETRANCE... JMO BARB
