ANTAGENE provides a certificate displaying the genetic status of a dog or a cat
Corny Feet
Description: Thickening and hardening of footpads resulting from abnormal proliferation of epidermal cells.
Symptoms : Horny protrusions on all footpads, fissures and cracks possibly causing great pain and therefore reduced mobility of the dog. In some cases, nail growth problem, alteration of hair morphology.
Age of onset : Between 4 and 9 months old
Frequency : 34% carriers
Gene involved :
Tested mutation :
Transmission : Autosomal Recessive
Patent :
Notes : The research was led by the team of Prof. Tosso Leeb (University of Bern) in collaboration with Antagene.
Mild bleeding disorder
Description: Insufficient synthesis of von Willebrand factor, a protein involved in blood coagulation
Symptoms : Important bleedings or haemorrhagic episodes, potentially lethal only after a surgical act or trauma. Spontaneous bleedings of mucous membranes observed in very rare cases
Age of onset : From birth
Frequency : Not available
Gene involved : VWF
Tested mutation : c.7142C>T
Transmission : Autosomal Recessive
Patent : _
Notes : Attenuate symptoms can exceptionally be observed in heterozygous dogs
