joejoesmom Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) News from the OSU Greyhound Health and Wellness Program: With Dr. Carlos Alvarez's lab (Nationwide Children's Hospital Molecular Genetics) we recently submitted for publication a paper with what we believe is the main gene for osteosarcoma (OSA) in Greyhounds. In the future, we should be able to test dogs with a mouth swab, and keep affected dogs from breeding. Moreover, targeted gene therapy may be applicable to dogs with OSA. http://www.nationwid...-human-genetics Jane edited to add: My guess is that the paper won't be available to read until it is published.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamaha_gurl Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 This will get interesting. Kinda scary and great at the same time. For example, say that such and such greyhound back in oh 1910 had this gene and he had thousands of off spring, well how are you going to breed greys that aren't already related to him? And how would that even work? Laws about not being able to breed certain dogs?

HopeForHounds Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 This is good news, for our hounds and for our children! This will get interesting. Kinda scary and great at the same time. For example, say that such and such greyhound back in oh 1910 had this gene and he had thousands of off spring, well how are you going to breed greys that aren't already related to him? And how would that even work? Laws about not being able to breed certain dogs? It will take a lot more research, and money, to go backwards. They are only going to be testing current dogs. This means a breeder could possible have their potential dam or sire tested to know. The good news (or not) is that they can test, so we'll at least know. That means that dogs that test positive could be candidates for gene therapy. There is a lot of questions to be answered and that is going to take more money for studes and research. The Greyhound Program at OSU's donations are down 50% this year. I'm ready to make this year's Miss Nellie Auction the best ever, who's with me?

Besides the famous and always fabulous Miss Nellie auction, there's also the Hope for Hounds collars for 2012. We made five colors to choose from this year! Let's make it the BIGGEST year ever! Oh yay!! Violet could use another collar and I would love for her to have a Hope for Hounds collar to wear when Zuri wears his. Will 2 Hounds be vending at either Grapehounds NY or Dewey and will the collars be available there in all colors, or do they need to be ordered? I'm not able to spend a lot of money on vendors at events so if I'm going to buy a collar, I really like to do it at an event, even if I know ahead of time what I'll be buying (silly, I know ). ETA: I would also like to see how the colors look against her fur, although right now I am loving the orange. This year's design is so much fun, love it! Oh, but I see the donation amount goes down after July 15th. Maybe I could order now, and pick up at the event.
