Wisdom PORTLAND, Ore., March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Wisdom Health, a next-generation service to help women reverse health issues naturally, launches out of Science Inc.'s startup studio to give women access to affordable holistic doctors, advanced testing and a care team to guide them in reversing autoimmune, hormonal and digestive disorders. Wisdom is opening the doors of its physical clinic in Portland and is also available to women all over the country via telemedicine.
Key Points:
- Wisdom Health prioritizes the patient experience by removing stigma, shame, long doctor wait times, and vague pricing practices to provide a modern digital holistic approach to care.
- With Wisdom Health, members receive fully integrative care from a holistic doctor and functional nutritionist, all from home.
- With expertise in a variety of areas from metabolic health, chronic health, thyroid health, musculoskeletal and functional nutrition, each Wisdom member receives individualized care where they need it most.
- By addressing the root of the problem and relying on holistic care, rather than expedient medication, Wisdom Health will help women restore their health from the ground up."
In the study, Atypical genotypes for canine Agouti Signaling Protein suggest novel chromosomal rearrangement , researchers characterize atypical genotypes for one of the proteins responsible for regulating the pigment in a dog's coat, known as Agouti Signaling Protein (ASIP).
Key Points:
- In the study, Atypical genotypes for canine Agouti Signaling Protein suggest novel chromosomal rearrangement , researchers characterize atypical genotypes for one of the proteins responsible for regulating the pigment in a dog's coat, known as Agouti Signaling Protein (ASIP).
- "We can examine these data to uncover rare anomalies like those that our researchers found at the ASIP locus, furthering the field of canine genetic research."
- "Due to the visual nature of coat colors, this area of dog genetics is a great model to investigate unexpected genetic anomalies.
- The research team believes that these newly discovered, unexpected genotype combinations have not been identified in purebred dogs prior to this study due to their low frequency.

Key Points:
- The study, Variation in breeding practices and geographic isolation drive subpopulation differentiation, contributing to the loss of genetic diversity within dog breed lineages ,describes genetic subpopulation differentiation and related loss of genetic diversity discovered in six dog breeds: the Belgian Shepherd, English Greyhound, Finnish Lapphund, Italian Greyhound, Labrador Retriever, and Shetland Sheepdog.
- Researchers examined the six popular dog breeds based on differential breeding strategies -- such as breeding for characteristics desired in 'sporting' compared to 'show' lines -- and geography using genotype analysis, finding that each of the breeds showed subpopulation differentiation contributing to a lack of genetic diversity.
- Though breed differentiation can serve important purposes, selection must be done critically and carefully to maintain healthy genetic diversity and increase gene flow between isolated populations.
- Based on the observed loss of genetic diversity in subpopulations of the six breeds studied, the researchers recommend that breeders take steps to encourage genetic diversity, facilitating exchange of dogs across geographical borders and avoiding unnecessary artificial boundaries between lineages.
VANCOUVER, Wash., May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Wisdom Health Genetics , the world's leader in pet genetics and makers of the Wisdom Panel dog DNA tests, announced today the launch of two new and improved dog DNA tests: the Wisdom Panel Essential test and the Wisdom Panel Premium test.

- VANCOUVER, Wash., May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Wisdom Health Genetics , the world's leader in pet genetics and makers of the Wisdom Panel dog DNA tests, announced today the launch of two new and improved dog DNA tests: the Wisdom Panel Essential test and the Wisdom Panel Premium test.
- The Wisdom Panel Premium test provides all that the Wisdom Panel Essential version does, plus health analysis including 250+ health and trait tests.
- Both Wisdom Panel tests are available now and require only a simple cheek swab to collect a dog's DNA.
- Wisdom Panel dog DNA tests - backed by the Wisdom Health scientific research - can help pet parents plan better, care smarter, and love longer.
The study, Recessive missense LAMP3 variant associated with defect in lamellar body biogenesis and fatal neonatal interstitial lung disease in dogs , identifies LAMP3 as a gene associated with a developmental lung disease in Airedale Terriers.
Key Points:
- The study, Recessive missense LAMP3 variant associated with defect in lamellar body biogenesis and fatal neonatal interstitial lung disease in dogs , identifies LAMP3 as a gene associated with a developmental lung disease in Airedale Terriers.
- "The study of lung disease in Airedale Terriers provides clues to identifying genetic causes of human disease."
- This neonatal lung disorder is novel to Airedale Terriers but resembles the most serious forms of the lung disease in human infants.
- The discoveries of the variants associated with this lung disease can provide potential benefits to both humans and dogs alike.

Purebred breeders The study "True Colors: commercially-acquired morphological genotypes reveal hidden allele variation among dog breeds, informing both trait ancestry and breed potential" found that many dog breeds carry gene variants for unexpected physical traits such as coat colors, which could randomly appear in future generations.
Key Points:
- The study "True Colors: commercially-acquired morphological genotypes reveal hidden allele variation among dog breeds, informing both trait ancestry and breed potential" found that many dog breeds carry gene variants for unexpected physical traits such as coat colors, which could randomly appear in future generations.
- "While our study focused primarily on purebred populations, these hidden traits can also have ramifications for mixed breed dogs.
- Most important for future research, the study provides a baseline of trait frequency data for a given population of purebred dogs.
- Based on these findings, breeders can utilize DNA panel testing to identify their desired traits and avoid expression of undesirable traits in future litters.
