Welsh Corgi Pack: Progressive Retinal Atrophy (rcd3-PRA), Brachyuria, von Willebrand Disease Type 1 (vWD-1), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM exon 2)
146,57 € VAT incl.
Panel multienfermedad dirigido al Corgi galés de Pembroke que agrupa cuatro pruebas moleculares de afecciones hereditarias descritas en la raza: atrofia progresiva de retina rcd3-PRA, braquiuria (cola corta natural), enfermedad de von Willebrand tipo 1 (vWD-1) y mielopatía degenerativa (DM exón 2). Cada prueba informa del estatus libre/portador/afecto para la variante correspondiente y permite planificar cruces evitando animales enfermos o con riesgo hemorrágico. El panel no sustituye al examen ocular ni al seguimiento clínico: la DM es de penetrancia incompleta y la vWD-1 puede requerir confirmación hemostática.
Diseases included in this pack
Brachyuria, Genetic Test (Autosomal dominant with embryonic lethality in homozygosity (T/T not viable).)
Hereditary trait (not a disease) that determines the natural short tail through a mutation in the T gene (brachyury). The short tail is a morphological character; the health interest lies in its inheritance: T/T homozygotes are not viable (embryonic lethality), so mating two short-tailed dogs reduces litter size. It…
Canine Degenerative Myelopathy exon 2 (All Breeds) (Autosomal recessive with age-dependent and incomplete penetrance)
Neurodegenerative disease of the spinal cord, the canine equivalent of human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) due to SOD1 mutations. The classic variant (exon 2 of the SOD1 gene, described in 'all breeds') produces a dysfunctional superoxide dismutase 1 and degeneration of the long spinal tracts, with progressive…
von Willebrand Disease Type 1 (Autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance (classic Doberman form, VWF c.7437G>A))
Von Willebrand disease (vWD) type 1 is an inherited coagulopathy caused by a quantitative deficiency of von Willebrand factor (vWF), a protein required for platelet adhesion to damaged endothelium. The result is a tendency to excessive bleeding, especially from mucous membranes (gums, nose, bladder, digestive tract)…
rcd3-PRA (Autosomal recessive.)
Progressive retinal atrophy due to rod-cone dysplasia type 3 (rcd3), caused by a mutation in the PDE6A gene (alpha subunit of rod cGMP phosphodiesterase). Progressive degeneration of photoreceptors leading to blindness. The variant was first described in the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the same variant has since been d…
Frequently asked questions
What does this pack include?
It includes 4 hereditary disease tests: Brachyuria, Genetic Test, Canine Degenerative Myelopathy exon 2 (All Breeds), von Willebrand Disease Type 1, rcd3-PRA. 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.
