Diseases included in this pack

Hungarian Vizsla neonatal cerebellar cortical degeneration (SNX14) (Autosomal recessive.)

Neonatal cerebellar cortical degeneration of the Hungarian Vizsla (short- and wire-haired) due to a splice donor site mutation in SNX14, with loss of Purkinje cells. Typical ataxia begins around 3 months of age with relatively rapid progression: general incoordination, intention and head tremor, insufficient menace…

Exfoliative Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (ECLE) (Autosomal recessive (monogenic); causal variant identified in UNC93B1)

Autoimmune skin disease of the dog characterised by generalised exfoliative dermatitis and, frequently, onychomadesis (detachment of the claws). The lesions are of the cutaneous lupus erythematosus type, with interface dermatitis on histology. It appears in adulthood, is chronic and usually progresses. The predispos…

Furnishing / wiry coat (RSPO2) (Autosomal trait with variable expression (not a disease); associated with the RSPO2 variant)

A coat variant associated with 'furnishings' (moustache and eyebrows) and facial wire hair in the dog, caused by a 167 bp insertion in the 3'UTR region of the RSPO2 gene. It is not a disease, but a morphological trait with variable expression. The test reports the genotype for the variant.

Longitud y tipo de pelo (largo/corto; rizado/liso), SIN pelo duro y barbas (FGF5 (long hair): autosomal recessive (OMIA:000439-9615). KRT71 (curly): autosomal inheritance (OMIA:000245-9615).)

Panel of canine coat traits that reports hair length (FGF5 gene) and curly or straight type (KRT71 gene). It is not a disease test: it describes the likely phenotype and helps predict litters. The long-hair allele of FGF5 is recessive; the KRT71 genotype contributes to the curly coat. The panel does not include the…

Frequently asked questions

What does this pack include?

It includes 4 hereditary disease tests: Hungarian Vizsla neonatal cerebellar cortical degeneration (SNX14), Exfoliative Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (ECLE), Furnishing / wiry coat (RSPO2), Longitud y tipo de pelo (largo/corto; rizado/liso), SIN pelo duro y barbas. 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.
