Feline Cardiac Genetics Research
Submitting Study Participants DNA for Research
Pre-Approved study participants will first submit all related paperwork.
Copies of formal documents are acceptable (echos, holter readings,
pedigrees, etc).
DNA is unable to be used in our study unless we have the required
documentation for that DNA.
After paperwork has been received, the approved study participant will
submit DNA via blood draw. This blood draw done is done by the participants
local Veterinarian or Veterinary Technician. We supply a special blood
buffer with instructions that must be used at the time the blood is drawn.
This blood buffer acts as a type of preservative and is an important step in
submitting the blood for our research.
If you have a cat that meets the requirements of one of our studies, please
contact us with all the relevant information about your cat as it pertains
to our study requirements.
