Antagene Séléction
DNA - based testing for hereditary diseases
ANTAGENE provides a certificate displaying the genetic status of a dog or a cat
AMB - Amber
Presence of amber coat colour
Norwegian Forest Cat
AMB - Amber
Description: DNA test can identifying cats carrying the genotype "Amber Coat Colour"
Symptoms : Progressive trait: from black or blue, the coat colour changes respectively to amber or light amber. Final colour is stabilized between 2 and 5 years old.
Age of onset : _
Frequency : _
Gene involved : MC1R
Tested mutation : c.250G>A
Transmission : Autosomal Recessive
Patent : _
Notes : Display of the Amber coloration depends on the presence/absence of dominant "Orange" coat colour. "Orange" cats are not concerned by amber mutation but are able to transmit it.
CP - Colour Point
Pale body and relatively darker extremities
Norwegian Forest Cat
CP - Colour Point
Description: DNA test can identifying cats carrying the genotype "Colour-Point"
Symptoms : _
Age of onset : _
Frequency : _
Gene involved : TYR
Tested mutation : G302R
Transmission : Autosomal Recessive
Patent : _
Notes : The test can not be used to detect genetically other pattern, like Sepia or Mink, or the coat colours.
GSD4 - Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV
Early muscular atrophy
Norwegian Forest Cat
GSD4 - Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV
Description: Abnormality of glucose metabolism resulting in an accumulation of an abnormal form of glycogen in the body
Symptoms : Death at or soon after birth. Rarely, affected kittens could live normally until 5 months old, but the disease leads quickly to neuromuscular degeneration, to severe muscular atrophies, to cardiac failures and to death before 15 months old
Age of onset : Before 15 months old
Frequency : 4%
Gene involved : GBE1
Tested mutation : g. IVS11+1552_IVS12-1339 del6.2 kb ins334 bp
Transmission : Autosomal Recessive
Patent : _
Notes : _
PKDef - Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency
Hemolytic anaemia
Norwegian Forest Cat
PKDef - Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency
Description: Lack of the pyruvate kinase enzyme causing an early destruction of red blood cells, leading to an anaemia more or less severe according to individuals
Symptoms : Lethargy, diarrhea, pale mucous membranes, lack of appetite, weight loss, icterus
Age of onset : Variable. Some rare cases declare an early severe form. Anaemia may only be moderate and intermittently detectable. In mild cases, symptoms may be late onset.
Frequency : Not available
Gene involved : PKLR
Tested mutation : c.693+304G>A
Transmission : Autosomal Recessive
Patent :
