Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in the Keeshond Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a hereditary disease in which the regulation of calcium levels in the body is disturbed. Possible consequences are an increasing weakening of the bones, kidney problems and even kidney failure as well as other metabolic disorders. A variant in the SIRT6 gene was found in […]
Available again: Adult Onset Neuropathy (AON) in the English Cocker Spaniel and Field Spaniel The genetic test for Adult Onset Neuropathy (AON) is now available again! The test is carried out by a partner laboratory and is offered for the English Cocker Spaniel and Field Spaniel breeds. AON is a hereditary disease whose symptoms are […]
Clopidogrel efficacy in the cat Arterial thromboembolism (ATE) is a serious and often life-threatening complication in cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or other heart diseases. It occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) blocks an artery and thus interrupts the flow of blood to organs or limbs. The consequences are often severe tissue damage or infarctions. […]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in the Golden Retriever Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic heart disease in which there is an abnormal thickening of the left ventricle. As this ventricle is responsible for the blood supply to the entire body, HCM can significantly impair the heart’s pumping capacity. This can result in a reduced oxygen supply […]
Cerebellar abiotrophy (CA) in the Australian Kelpie Cerebellar abiotrophy (CA) is a hereditary neurological disorder that causes changes in the cerebellum, which is particularly responsible for movement coordination and balance. Two genetic risk markers associated with CA have been identified in the Australian Kelpie. Clinical manifestations of the disease include pronounced ataxia, head tremor, a […]
Glycogen storage disease (GSD-PGBM1) in the Basset Hound Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are hereditary metabolic disorders in which too much glycogen is stored in various tissues due to faulty enzymes. A genetic variant in the RBCK1 gene was discovered in the Basset Hound, which leads to the formation of so-called polyglucosan storage bodies and can […]
Update: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM3) in the Ragdoll Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common heart disease in cats. This causes the muscles of the left ventricle to thicken, making it harder for the heart to fill. This can lead to poor performance, shortness of breath, blood clots and, in the worst case, sudden cardiac death. […]
Determination of the ridge gene in the Rhodesian Ridgeback The ridge – the distinctive ridge running against the direction of the coat – is one of the characteristic features of the Rhodesian Ridgeback breed. The appearance of the Ridge is clearly defined by the respective breed standards. The development of the ridge is caused by […]
Hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis (HIP) in the Freiberger We offer a new genetic test for Freiberger that can be used to identify carriers and affected animals of hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis (HIP). The disease is a hereditary metabolic defect. The HIP gene variant causes the loss of function of an important enzyme in fat metabolism, which ensures that absorbed […]
