Animal: Horses & Ponies
Keywords: horse, equine, temporohyoid osteoarthopathy
Type: Genetic Study
Target:
200 Participants
Investigators:
Background and purpose
The aim of this study is to perform genetic analysis on a large number of horses of all breeds affected by a neurological condition called Temporohyoid Osteoarthropathy with the ultimate goal of finding a genetic marker for the disease.
What happens in this study

The only procedure required is the collection and submission of a blood sample for DNA extraction. Blood samples (approximately 12 ml) should be collected in EDTA-containg blood collection tubes by a veterinarian.

Pet owner responsibilities

If you decide to participate in this study, a veterinarian would be responsible for collecting and submitting a blood sample and necessary documentation (including pedigree and consent form) to us.

Participation requirements

We are looking for all cases of Temporohyoid Osteoarthropathy of any breed of horse.

Benefits and risks of participating
There are no direct benefits but results from this study could be very helpful to horses of any breed.
