OMG!!!! I am absolutely dumbstruck with this WONDERFUL discovery of a true live geneticist as a contributing member on this forum.....my God.....pinch me ....have I died and gone to heaven???????????? My interests gravitate around the dreaded liver shunts and the advancements made toward ID'ing the gene responsible for that, as well as a test that can be done on a dog to determine if that dog carries that gene. I have closely followed the work of Dr Tobias and the University of Tenn.and her extensive work in this area.....so far, I have not found anything that has been written that has gotten us closer to actually nailing the gene and then testing for it....maybe when convenient, you can find any informnation in this area of research and share this with us!!!
