Re: Clubfoot Genetic Study (conducted by Dr. Hecht Texas & Dr. Dietz Iowa) - experience

[Guest guest]

Hi! Am very interested in the genetic study. Where Can I read the article on

this? BOTH my sons had club feet -- a 100% " batting average " so to speak LOL.

Unfortunately I live in the Philippines so getting blood drawn or participating

in the study directly seems logistically impossible. But am really, really

interested in the initial information and studies they might have.Hope you acn

point me in the right direction....

It took me a while to get organized and follow up on it, but as I

promised a few months earlier, here is a follow up.

Dh. Hashmi from Texas called the unilab here in Orange Co., CA and made

the necessary arrangements. He called me back to give me the names of

the people willing to draw the blood. All I had to do is call them and

arrange time (or different times for the whole family) for the draw.

Texas sent prepaid packages for Airborne express, which picks up from my

office. So, very organized, very thoughtful staff. Overall experience

- very positive.

For the ones reading about the genetic study for a first time: the

researchers are trying to isolate the gene or genes causing the

clubfoot. Hopefully the study will be successful and the clubfoot can

eventually be prevented from happening.... Anyway, I am hoping to

eliminate the problem for my kids, grand kids...

If any of you are interested in participating:

I suggest you sent an e-mail to

Shashmi1@...

.T.Hecht@... .T.Hecht@...>

and .E.Serna@... .E.Serna@...>

Airborne Express had a merger with DHL and they do fly to the

Philippines and 219 other countries. Just like for US, they provide 24

hr service. Dr. Hashmi can send you the package ( which includes the

prepaid envelopes). It is very possible for you to participate in the

study if you wish. All you have to do is contact Dr. Hashmi and get

more information and package. He can actually arrange for a lab close

to you to collect the samples.
