Background: We have preliminary evidence suggesting X-linked inheritance in feline nephrology (case report DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.19040.19200) and need molecular genetic confirmation.

Current status:

- Single family case study completed

- Clinical phenotype documented over 9 years

- Inheritance pattern analysis suggests X-linked mechanism

- Need DNA analysis to confirm genetic basis

Requirements for ideal laboratory:

✅ Experience with feline genetics

✅ X-chromosome sequencing capabilities

✅ Academic collaboration opportunities

✅ Reasonable pricing for research projects

✅ International shipping capabilities (from Belgium)

Specific needs:

- Whole X-chromosome sequencing

- Comparative analysis between affected and healthy family members

- Identification of potential causative mutations

- Professional interpretation of results

Any recommendations for reputable veterinary genetics laboratories? Particularly interested in labs that have worked with hereditary nephritis genes or similar X-linked conditions.

Also seeking advice on sample collection and preservation protocols for genetic analysis.
