Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Just a reminder to anyone new or those who haven't taken the poll yet, please check out the polls section and let me know if you are interested in being contacted to participate in Dr. Dobbs Genetic Study to locate the gene that causes clubfoot. Dr. Dobbs is mostly interested in accepting new participants into the study who have more than one family member affected by clubfoot. For anyone who answers the poll indicating that they would like to contact Dr. Dobbs directly he is using dobbsm@... for patients interested in the study. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 , I will ask him about it -- he said he would pay for shipping costs but it just may be prohibitive when dealing with dry ice as I think you would have to to get it here. Thanks though!

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 We would be interested in people who are outside the US as well. We can find an area hospital to go to and have the blood drawn. We have worked with several people who are not in the US. If you are interested please contact Dr. Dobbs. > , > > I replied as 'not interested' purely because we don't live in the US, I > don't know how I would begin to get all our blood over to Dr Dobbs...it's a > pity because we do have 2 members - my son and my cousin (my maternal aunt's > first son). > > and > 24 Jan 2003, bilateral cf > www.clubfoot.co.za > > > Dr. Dobbs Genetic Study > > Just a reminder to anyone new or those who haven't taken the poll yet, > please check out the polls section and let me know if you are > interested in being contacted to participate in Dr. Dobbs Genetic Study > to locate the gene that causes clubfoot. > Dr. Dobbs is mostly interested in accepting new participants into the > study who have more than one family member affected by clubfoot. > For anyone who answers the poll indicating that they would like to > contact Dr. Dobbs directly he is using dobbsm@m... for > patients interested in the study. > > Thanks! > > Jenna (4/7/01) & Sammy (9/25/04, RCF, Dobbs Brace 16-18/7) > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 , I just got a reply from him as well, he said he would go to great lengths to have you participate if you have several affected family members. Usually he will try to identify what major city would be near you and try to find a lab there that can do the DNA isolation for him and then have that sent. The DNA is more stable then blood to send overseas. So anyway, if decide you want to you can contact him at dobbsm@... for participating in the study.
