GENETICS OF IMPULSIVE AGGRESSION

Goal:

To locate genes involved in anxiety-based impulsive aggression and fear aggression in canines. Current focus: Impulsive Aggression.

Samples needed from:

1.  Purebred dogs of any breed with this type of inappropriate aggression that exhibit abnormal, aggressive behaviors grossly out of proportion or out of context with the external environment.
2.  Unaffected purebred relatives of dogs who exhibit this behavior.
3.  Large purebred families containing dogs who are both affected and unaffected.

Sample type: Blood (preferred) or buccal swab samples.
Pedigree information greatly appreciated if available.
All information submitted to this project is confidential.
