GDC

The Institute for Genetic Disease Control in Animals (GDC) is a non-profit corporation dedicated to improving the genetic health of dogs. GDC registers individual dogs of all breeds and the results for each dog of evaluations for many different genetic diseases... At the request of various breed groups, GDC established additional registries including eye, heart, cancer and other genetic diseases and has expanded the original orthopedic registry. GDC also created a number of research registries for suspected genetic diseases... Ten years ago GDC (a group of breeders, veterinarians and researchers) pioneered a new type of genetic disease registry in the U.S. We collect the full range of information available from the screenings of each GDC-registered dog. And we provide controlled access to that information to help breeders and owners make smart choices by tracking the genetic diseases in a dog's family.
