NEW RESEARCH: Our project has been quiet lately because we have moved to directly supporting researchers. We are now working with the University of Utrecht team to look closely at Doberman Hepatitis, or liver disease. (Note: This is the team that discovered DCM3 and DCM4, which have very robust findings for Doberman DCM; They found no correlation with DCM1 or DCM2) They are taking the same critical eye to Doberman hepatitis and they need ALL Embarked Dobermans to help.
>>>If your Doberman is 8+ years old and healthy, please update us: https://survey.uu.nl/jfe/form/SV_6m5gv3NC7Z9Jg7Y
>>>If your Doberman is suspected to have liver disease, Utrecht University will cover for you:
- Histopathology of liver samples (this is normally a $500+ service that they will cover for free)
- DNA isolation from blood
- DNA storage
- ATP7B/ATP7A genotyping

We have started a movement, and it is only getting stronger!
