Poodle Health Research
Opportunities
Inherited Cataracts Study (and other ocular diseases):
The University of Pennsylvania is in need of DNA samples from Toy & Miniature Poodles to contribute to their research on juvenile and other inherited cataracts. They are especially in need of samples from dogs who are affected with or who are related to dogs with cataracts. Standard Poodles submissions are also welcome. If you are interested in participating in this study, please contact Jessica Niggel at jniggel@vet.upenn.edu
The research team is also working on pinpointing genetic factors in other eye disorders, such as Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, etc. Reach out to them if you have any questions.
