anyone know what is happening to the research at VHUP? Does anyone know if they are still accepting blood samples from affected dogs?

I do not know about VHUP but I can tell you that Dr. Sleeper at University of Penn. is still doing research and is still accepting blood samples.

do you have contact information? I think there were forms on OFA for a while, but they are gone.

Paula Henthorn works with Dr. Meg Sleeper. I also included Dr. Sleeper's email address at the bottom.

Dr Sleeper is so wonderful. I shot her an email today to see how things are going. Her response is below:

Hi ---,
I am ccing Paula on this too. I believe we can still take samples and I can send anyone interested in participating a client consent form. We are awaiting results from the last batch of samples and hopefully optimistic!!!
