Jyn is participating in the Biomarker Study for Canine Health Dysplasia with OFA and the University of Missouri’s Thompson Laboratory for Regenerative Orthopaedics.
This involves sending urine and blood samples at 4-5 months of age, returning for preliminary hip dysplasia x-rays at 12 months, and finally for official x-rays at 24+ months. Jyn completed her participation a couple years ago.
The participant pays for the evaluations/collections and shipping, but OFA comps the submission fees for the x-ray evaluations for study participants.
The study is now closed for analysis and we look forward to seeing the results posted after the publishing and peer review processes are complete.
