In order to study the genetic causes of epilepsy in the dog breeds, we collect blood samples
of affected dogs as well as their relatives, healthy or affected. This project is part of the LUPA
european consortium (www.eurolupa.org) aiming at searching the genetic causes of hereditary
diseases in dog and human for their mutual benefit.
Could you send us :
- The pedigree of the dog
- Blood samples:
5 mL of blood in EDTA tubes (purple cups) (name, breed, sex, written on the tube)
Blood must not be coagulated.
- The clinical form
- The signed inform consent
Please send samples at room temperature by ordinary mail (from Europe), by rapid mail (from
others countries) at the above address.
All information will be kept confidential.
We thank you very much in advance for your help.
If you have any question please don’t hesitate to call us.
