133,98 € VAT incl.
Panel genético multienfermedad para el Cocker spaniel inglés que reúne tres pruebas moleculares: atrofia progresiva de retina (prcd-PRA), nefropatía familiar (FN) y síndrome de mutilación acral (AMS). Las tres condiciones tienen base molecular caracterizada y patrón de herencia recesivo. El panel es complementario del examen ocular, del seguimiento renal y neurológico en la selección reproductiva.
Diseases included in this pack
Familial Nephropathy (FN) (English Cocker Spaniel, Welsh Springer Spaniel) (Autosomal recessive.)
Juvenile, fatal hereditary nephropathy of the English Cocker Spaniel due to a collagen IV defect (COL4A4): glomerulopathy with thickening and splitting of the glomerular basement membrane, progressive proteinuria and renal failure. A canine model of human Alport basement membrane nephropathy. It is inherited in an a…
Canine Progressive Retinal Atrophy (prcd-PRA) (Autosomal recessive)
Inherited degeneration of the retinal photoreceptors. It begins by affecting the rods (night blindness, difficulty in low light) and progresses toward total vision loss in the medium to long term. It is the most common form of progressive retinal atrophy in dogs and is painless, so it is usually detected late, when…
Acral Mutilation Syndrome (AMS) (Autosomal recessive.)
Molecular test for acral mutilation syndrome (AMS), an inherited sensory neuropathy that causes loss of pain sensitivity in the distal extremities and leads to self-mutilation of digits and footpads. It affects the peripheral nervous system (sensory fibres) and compromises welfare through self-inflicted injuries. Th…
Frequently asked questions
What does this pack include?
It includes 3 hereditary disease tests: Familial Nephropathy (FN) (English Cocker Spaniel, Welsh Springer Spaniel), Canine Progressive Retinal Atrophy (prcd-PRA), Acral Mutilation Syndrome (AMS). All are analysed in our laboratory.
What do the results mean?
The report shows the genotype and inheritance pattern of each variant. It is a breeding-decision tool: it guides which crosses to avoid, it does not guarantee the absence of disease.
How is the sample taken?
Buccal swab or 0.5–1 ml EDTA blood. The kit ships free to Spain, the EU and the UK.
