A follow up:
Hello all!
Just a quick reminder for those who have not yet submitted a DNA sample to the University of Minnesota for the ongoing FH research. I won't repeat everything from our earlier emails, but you can read more about the study and testing process here:
UMN: https://z.umn.edu/Eurasiers
USEC: https://www.useurasierclub.org/cholesterol
The study is going well! Thanks to the tremendous response from the Eurasier community, including several international clubs that coordinated the submission of large groups of samples, UMN is closing the sample collection period earlier than originally anticipated.
Free testing will now be available through October 30, 2026, rather than the previously announced November deadline. If you have not yet submitted your sample, please try to do so before the end of the month!
If you have already received your results, and are comfortable sharing them, please consider forwarding a copy to us here at the US Eurasier Club for our own health tracking and recordkeeping purposes. :)
Once the research sample collection period concludes, FH testing will still be available to breeders through the University of Minnesota as a paid service.
We're incredibly fortunate to have such an engaged and responsive Eurasier community, both here in the US and internationally. Thank you again to everyone who has participated, shared information, and helped support this important research!
