The increasing possibilities for treating and correcting genetic disorders in human patients by approaches ranging from gene product replacement to gene transfer have created an increasing need for animal models in which to investigate pathogenetic mechanisms and approaches to therapy. The large reservoir of naturally-occurring counterparts of human genetic disease in animals, particularly domestic animals, has not been adequately utilized, in part because of the lack of accessible laboratories providing the special studies needed to identify and define genetic disorders in animals. The objective of this project is to provide a national referral center for the identification, characterization, evaluation, and dissemination of animal models of human genetic disease. The Center will provide consultation and laboratory studies of animals with signs suggestive of a useful new counterpart of human genetic disease. Laboratory studies include cytogenetics, screening for inborn errors of metabolism, identification of abnormal metabolites, and special and routine pathologic studies of biopsies and postmortem specimens. Family and breeding studies will be used to define modes of inheritance. Promising models will be made available to the general biomedical community in the form of cell cultures, DNA, frozen semen and breeding stock.

治疗和纠正遗传的可能性越来越大 通过基因等方法治疗人类患者的疾病 从产品替代到基因转移已经创造了越来越多的 需要动物模型来研究发病机制 治疗机制和方法。 大型水库 人类遗传病的自然发生对应物 动物，特别是家畜，尚未得到充分保护 被利用，部分原因是缺乏可用的实验室 提供识别和定义遗传所需的特殊研究 动物疾病。 该项目的目标是提供国家推荐 鉴定、表征、评估和分析中心 传播人类遗传病的动物模型。 这 中心将提供动物咨询和实验室研究 有迹象表明人类有一个有用的新对应物 遗传病。 实验室研究包括细胞遗传学、 筛查先天性代谢缺陷，鉴定 异常代谢以及特殊和常规病理研究 活组织检查和尸检标本。 家庭和繁殖 研究将用于定义遗传模式。 有前途 模型将可供一般生物医学界使用 以细胞培养物、DNA、冷冻精液和 种畜。
