Abyssinians and Siamese cats, shar pei and akita dogs all have a higher than
normal incidence of amyloidosis which can lead to kidney failure.
Principal investigator Adrian Daw helps calibrate the Extreme
Ultraviolet Normal Incidence Spectrograph using colored lights before its latest trip to study the sun.
The first evidence of the presence of this super hot plasma was presented by Adrian Daw, a solar scientist at Goddard and principal investigator of the Extreme Ultraviolet
Normal Incidence Spectrograph, or EUNIS, sounding rocket mission.
Additionally, German Shepherds have a higher than
normal incidence of Von Willebrand disease, a common inherited bleeding disorder, [62] and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), a degenerative disease of the pancreas.
Shar pei and akita dogs have a higher than
normal incidence of amyloidosis which can lead to kidney failure.
The offspring of these cats are believed to have then traveled on trading ships from Boston to Halifax, which could explain why these areas have higher than
normal incidence of polydactyly.
