After working on this project for so many years, the final few weeks of waiting for the preliminary results to come through from the GWAS is proving difficult.
Bannasch Laboratory has told us expect these results 'sometime' during the first week in February.
What we are hoping to see in these results is that on the Connemara Pony genome there is a 'region of interest' which shows up ONLY in the known affected and known carrier ponies.
This region of interest will then require closer investigative work to be conducted to establish exactly what is 'going on'.
"Good things come to those that wait".
