Abstract
This news item is about: Veterinarians at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals are looking for healthy Labrador retrievers to undergo a free comprehensive health screening. The test results will be shared with the referring veterinarian, and the dogs' DNA will go to the hospital's DNA bank, which holds more than 6,000 samples from animals with various conditions. The DNA will provide a control group of healthy dogs for gene discovery of multiple diseases of interest.
