IMPORTANT CALL!
The Veterinary Genetics Expertise Centre at the University Clinic for Companion Animals in Utrecht recently discovered two new gene mutations in the Dobermann related to the heart muscle disease DCM. This important discovery is a very big step towards better health within our Doberman population.
The Centre of Expertise can only perform good research if it has access to as much genetic material as possible.
To this end, the Centre of Expertise works closely with EMBARK.
EMBARK offers external DNA tests worldwide and therefore also has DNA data of many Dobermanns.
Should you have DNA of you Dobermann(s) stored at EMBARK, we urge you to release this DNA to the Genetics Expertise Centre. You can easily do this at [https://survey.uu.nl/jfe/form/SV_9n8jJzWF5pFR7Ho

](https://survey.uu.nl/jfe/form/SV_9n8jJzWF5pFR7Ho

)
If you would like to have your Dobermann tested at EMBARK, you can request a test kit at [https://survey.uu.nl/jfe/form/SV_bQ2fa4wSL2svIdo

](https://survey.uu.nl/jfe/form/SV_bQ2fa4wSL2svIdo

)
The DNA data of your Dobermann will then also be immediately available for scientific research at the Expertise Centre Genetics of Utrecht University.
The DNA profile of every Dobermann, the more the better, will make an important contribution to preventing the serious heart muscle disease DCM and also other disorders in the Dobermann in the future.
We will inform you in detail in our next newsletter.
Thank you very much in advance!

I'm really glad there are people at work on this disease trying to find all the genetic markers they can. I hope for a day where we have enough markers to reliably predict DCM.

I just read this via the Nederlanse Dobermann Club, it’s great news.
