PK Deficiency - GCCF - UK breeders - please crosspost
On behalf of Steven Robertson:
"Dear Steven
On behalf of the Progressive Singapura Cat Club, I have been in talks with Langford University regarding PK (Def) and they are willing to put together a meeting at Langford to help breeders to understand PK (Def) and have an opportunity for discussions so that they can formulate breeding plans to work the breed out of this problem.
They would have feline medical specialists to talk about the disease, the genetics and inheritance patterns for different matings and also give a large amount of time over to discussion and questions. This would be a golden opportunity to pick the brains of the experts to ensure the future of our breeds.
They would like some idea of how many breeders they would need to cater for and as UK Bengals have recently found PK (Def) in some of their lines, we are extending the invitation to Bengal Breeders as it is so new in your breeds.
I would be grateful if you could get this out to Bengal Breeders and ask them to give me an idea if they would be interested in attending (date to be determined) and would appreciate replies to
progressivesingapuracc@gmail.comI do hope you and others will be able to join us and expand your knowledge of this disease and how to rid our breeds of it without jeopardising the viability of the breed.
Please feel free to forward this email onto any interested parties or groups.
Marcia Owen"
