GDC Newsnote #10
*******************

October 12, 2002

Hello, GDC Newsnote readers:

First, the New Hampshire office is up and running, and as you may know, the Davis, California office is permanently closed. Mail and phone calls are being forwarded to the NH office.

We are still running the Eye and Tumor registries. I'm working to improve the usefulness of the Eye registry to breeders, and would welcome any comments or criticisms you have.

Below is the new address and phone info for GDC.

Note that we have a toll-free line now (1-877-741-2155).   Office hours are 1 pm-5 pm EST, but I'm usually around at other times and will always pick up if I'm here.

Warner, NH 03278

Telephone: 603-456-2350

OFA MERGE

We are still working out the details of merging the GDC database with OFA, and will be testing the process next week. Information on GDC dogs is not yet available on the OFA web site.

RESEARCH REQUEST

Dr. Chris Walsh, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, contacted GDC. He is working on lissencephally and cerebellar hypoplasia in humans, and because these genetic diseases also appear in some breeds of dogs, he is looking for information on affected dogs. Lissencephally appears most often in lhasa apsos, and cerebellar hypoplasia (shaky puppy syndrome) is seen in terrier breeds and chow chows. If you know of affected dogs, or can help with other information, please email me at gdc@conknet.com. Dr. Walsh's web site is www.walshlab.org

That's it for now!

George Packard
