Rottweiler Familial Subaortic Stenosis Study


We are currently looking for DNA samples from Rottweilers with a diagnosis of Subvalvular aortic stenosis (diagnosed by Doppler echocardiogram) or proven clear of Subvalvular aortic stenosis (as cleared by a cardiologist) to advance our study to identify a gene for the disease.

We need DNA samples from 20-30 affected dogs and 20-30 clear dogs

Please complete and return this form with your sample and mail to:

Sample collection

Please ask your veterinarian or a veterinary technician to pull a blood sample into an EDTA tube. Most veterinary hospitals have these readily available

  1. Blood drawn into a Standard EDTA Tube does not need to be refrigerated.
  2. Blood draw volume should be 1 to 2 ml, if possible.
  3. Please label tube well, with dog’s call name and family last name and send the samples to our lab via the address above
Blood drawn does not need to be mailed back with ice packs or be shipped overnight. However, if possible please try to send the sample within a few days by standard mail. Until the blood can be mailed, it is a good idea to refrigerate it (i.e., if the blood was drawn late Saturday and cannot be mailed until Monday, it’s a good idea to refrigerate it between Saturday and Monday).
