The primary aim of the study is to assess the clinical responses of cats with naturally occurring mild to moderate chronic enteropathy when fed different types of dry kibble diets. As part of this study, three visits to Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in Tinton Falls are required for the patient.

Owners must be willing to weigh the cat’s food daily for the entire 12 weeks. The owner will be required to fill out some screening paperwork before making the appointment, as well as, complete a daily log of their cat’s habits for the duration of the study. The majority of the study is at no cost to the client.

Our project aims to define biomarkers of severe primary ITP and identify genetic susceptibility loci implicated in loss of self-tolerance. Our first objective is to complete the GWAS with newly accrued ITP cases in a prospective, multi-institutional cohort study.

These analyses will determine whether CD226, a candidate disease gene within the trait locus, plays a role in ITP pathogenesis and allow us to determine whether CD226 polymorphisms influence the number or function of immunomodulatory T regulatory (Treg) cells. Our second objective is to identify ITP severity predictors.

Together, our genotyping and phenotyping strategy will lead to individualized, targeted patient management.
