Note:

In dogs, as in other species, we are surely going to find more than the known hereditary forms of Cystinuria. In breeds that are hardly related to the Newfoundlands and Landseers different mutant genes may have the same phenotypic effect causing the disease. Dr. Urs Giger and his group in Pennsylvania and other scientists all over the world are searching for other hereditary forms of Cystinuria.
