Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Pack: Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), Progressive Retinal Atrophy (prcd-PRA), Chondrodysplasia (CDPA) and Chondrodystrophy (CDDY) (IVDD Risk), Cerebellar Degeneration and Myositis (CDMC), Cleft Lip/Cleft Palate and Syndactyly (
153,54 € VAT incl.
Panel multienfermedad dirigido al Perro cobrador de Nueva Escocia (Duck Toller) que agrupa pruebas de afecciones hereditarias con prueba molecular disponible en la raza o en razas emparentadas: anomalía ocular del collie (CEA), atrofia progresiva de retina prcd-PRA, condrodisplasia/condrodistrofia con riesgo de hernia discal (CDPA y CDDY), degeneración cerebelosa y miositis (CDMC) y labio leporino/paladar hendido con sindactilia (CLPS). El panel permite gestionar afecciones oculares, musculoesqueléticas y craneofaciales en una sola muestra. El riesgo de IVDD ligado a CDDY obliga a combinar la genotipación con manejo de peso y ejercicio.
Diseases included in this pack
Chondrodysplasia (CDPA) and Chondrodystrophy (CDDY) (IVDD Risk) (CDPA: autosomal dominant semi-dominant (homozygotes with shorter legs). CDDY-IVDD: autosomal dominant with a dose-dependent effect (more copies, higher risk of IVDD).)
Combined test that evaluates two FGF4 retrogene insertions associated with skeletal phenotypes and with the risk of intervertebral disc herniation in the dog. The insertion on chromosome 18 (CDPA) determines the shortened limbs typical of many breeds; the insertion on chromosome 12 (CDDY) is associated with chondrod…
Cerebellar Degeneration and Myositis (CDMC) (Autosomal recessive. Affected homozygotes; asymptomatic carrier heterozygotes.)
Hereditary neurodegenerative disease of the Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever that combines cerebellar degeneration and inflammatory myositis. It appears between 10 weeks and 6 months of age as progressive ataxia with hypermetria and, in many cases, muscle weakness and episodes of collapse. Serum creatine kinase (C…
Cleft Lip, Cleft Palate and Syndactyly (CLPS) (Autosomal recessive.)
Hereditary syndrome of the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever that combines cleft lip and/or palate with syndactyly (cutaneous and/or bony fusion of the third and fourth digits). It is caused by a frameshift deletion in ADAMTS20 that alters craniofacial and limb development during embryogenesis. The signs are presen…
Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA, Without Certificate) (Autosomal recessive (OMIA:000218-9615). Homozygotes for the risk allele show the anomaly to a variable degree; heterozygotes are carriers.)
Collie eye anomaly (CEA) is an inherited disorder of ocular development that mainly affects herding breeds with Collie ancestry (Rough and Smooth Collie, Border Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, Australian Shepherd). It is associated with a deletion in the NHEJ1 gene on chromosome 37 (risk allele linked to the locus in sev…
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…
Frequently asked questions
What does this pack include?
It includes 5 hereditary disease tests: Chondrodysplasia (CDPA) and Chondrodystrophy (CDDY) (IVDD Risk), Cerebellar Degeneration and Myositis (CDMC), Cleft Lip, Cleft Palate and Syndactyly (CLPS), Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA, Without Certificate)…. 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.
