If you are considering participation in the cancer research done by the Modiano Lab, please review these forms:
Participating in the cancer mapping projects: Visit the Modiano Lab for updated information on how you and your dog can participate in ongoing cancer studies: http://modianolab.org/studyInfo/studyInfo_index.shtml Investigators are enrolling all purebred dogs that fall into any of the following categories:
Have been diagnosed with OSA
Over eight years old and without cancer
Have other types of cancer/hereditary diseases (see the
comprehensive list at
Dog DNA)
Researchers need 5ml (=1 teaspoon) of blood in a purple top tube (EDTA
tube). The sample can be mailed in at room temperature, as long as it
arrives within a week from the time it was taken. A consent form signed by
the owner must be sent in with the sample. The consent form can be found at
Dog DNA along with more detailed instructions. You can also contact the
investigators by e-mail
dog-info@broadinstitute.org. If you are also able to donate a sample
from your dog's tumor in addition to the blood please contact the Modiano
lab at the University of Minnesota by emailing
Mitzi Lewellen, call the lab (612-626-6890), or email the website
contact
lab@modianolab.org. All samples sent to Dr. Modiano's lab will be shared
with the Broad Institute and with Dr. Matthew Breen's laboratory at North
Carolina State University.
All the information regarding your dog is kept strictly confidential, and
the genetic disposition of any dog will never be made public.
