Price €60
Sample type required: blood or cheek swab

The results of the test are reported as follows:
NORMAL: Do not carry the risk allele DRB*00101 and has therefore no increased risk of developing anal furunculosis.
CARRIER: (Heterozygote): Carries one copy of the DRB*00101 allele and
because of the dominant inheritance has therefore a risk 5 times higher
of developing anal furunculosis. Carrier can also transfer the defect
to approximately 50% of its progeny.
AFFECTED: (Homozygote): Carries two copies of the DRB*00101 allele and
has therefore a risk 5 times higher of developing perianal fistula than
a normal dog. Sick homozygote usually develops the disease at younger
age than a heterozygote. It will also transfer the gene defect to all
of its progeny.

Very interesting Karen.
