ANTAGENE provides a certificate displaying the genetic status of a dog or a cat
Progressive loss of vision
Description: Progressive rod-cone degeneration
Symptoms : Declining vision (at night and then in daylight) and eventual blindness
Age of onset : Between 2 and 8 years old
Frequency : 46% carriers in European population
Gene involved : PRCD
Tested mutation : c.5G>A
Transmission : Autosomal Recessive
Patent : _
Notes : _
Juvenile-onset renal failure
Description: Abnormal kidney basement membrane protein and structure
Symptoms : Excessive water consumption, excessive urine volume, weight loss, vomiting, diarrhoea, progressive and ultimately fatal renal failure
Age of onset : From birth, death before 2 years old
Frequency : 6% carriers in European population
Gene involved : COL4A4
Tested mutation : c.115A>T
Transmission : Autosomal Recessive
Patent : ANTAGENE European exclusive License
Notes : This DNA test is the result of researches and efforts to improve the health of purebreed dogs and cats. Only ANTAGENE masters the performing process of these DNA tests to garantee a 99.9% accuracy of the results delivered Legal mention : FN test : Merlogen patent ANTAGENE license
Lesions on distal extremities caused by self-mutilation
Description: Self-mutilation of limb extremities linked with located insensivity to pain
Symptoms : Lesions on distal extremities caused by self-mutilation, loss of sensivity to pain on distal limbs, tendency to lick or bite their own pads resulting in auto-amputation of claws, digits and footpads in severe cases, no limping
Age of onset : From 3 to 12 months
Frequency : 7% carriers in English population
Gene involved : -
Tested mutation : -
Transmission : Autosomal Recessive
Patent : -
Notes : This DNA test is the result of researches and efforts to improve the health and to determine the risk for purebreed dogs to develop Acral Mutilation Syndrome. The team "Canine Genetics" from CNRS-Université de Rennes I led the research that allowed the development of this risk test. Only Antagene masters the performing process of this DNA test.
