ANTAGENE provides a certificate displaying the genetic status of a dog or a cat
Kidney failure
Description: Cysts compressing the renal tissue and preventing a correct kidney functioning
Symptoms : Excessive water consumption, excessive urine volume, weight loss, vomiting, lethargy, chronic and ultimately fatal renal failure
Age of onset : Between 2 and 10 years old
Frequency : Not available
Gene involved : PKD1
Tested mutation : C.10063C>A
Transmission : Autosomal Dominant
Patent : _
Notes : The study of PKD mutation frequency shows a significant decrease since 2006 in the tested population.
Hairless
Description: Hairless associated with increased sensitivity to infections
Symptoms : Hairless at birth, wrinkled skin, developpment of sparse short fur with attenuated whiskers during growth, no adult hair, increased sensitivity to infections leading to death
Age of onset : At birth
Frequency : 3,2% carriers in French population
Gene involved : -
Tested mutation : -
Transmission : Autosomal Recessive
Patent : -
Notes : The research was led by the team of Dr Marie Abitbol (ENVA, France) in collaboration with Antagene.
