Re: LP
Wow that is great news for all the LP lovers.... I always thought there was one mutation (LP or lp), but this information seems to indicate that it is a combination of 3 mutations producing a single result (spotted or not)...or am I misinturpreting the data (not unheard of ymwhisle ). Either way kinda kewl from a genetics stand point. :toast
Re: LP
"Dear Members,
Given that so many of you have posted questions about a DNA test for LP and CSNB, I wanted to share this exciting news with you. We have recently identified the causative mutation for LP and CSNB. We are currently preparing the manuscript for publication. Once the discovery has been published, I will send an update with all of the details and of course answer any questions you might have. In the meantime, we are working with Cornell University to patent the discovery. When a license has been purchased by a commercial laboratory (to offer the DNA test for the causative mutation) I will let you know. Thank you to everyone that has contributed to the thousands of samples, over the past thirteen years, that has made all of this research possible.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Bellone, Ph.D."

[quote=accphotography]No there's just one mutation, LP (lp is wild type). They are just saying they essentially found three "markers" that go along with LP close enough to do a haplotype test. It's just like the dun test if I'm reading right.[/quote]
They have now isolated the gene responsible, so it will be like the extension test :)
Re: LP
That is AWESOME! Yay! :)
