🧬🔬The condition is caused by an autosomal recessive mutation in the COL6A3 gene and results in muscle degeneration and stiff joints, which restrict mobility. Symptoms such as stiffness, muscle weakness, and difficulty moving can appear at an early age. The disease is progressive and may lead to severe mobility issues and reduced quality of life as the dog ages.

👉This test is available under test code H155 and has been added to the CombiBreed package for the American Staffordshire Terrier under test code H601.

🔬🧬Disproportionate Dwarfism is an inherited skeletal disorder in Dalmatians, caused by an autosomal recessive mutation in the PRKG2 gene. The condition results in shorter limbs in proportion to the body, while the torso and head remain normally shaped.

This test is available under test code H149 and has also been added to the Dalmatian breed package under test code H540.

🧬Cerebellar Ataxia is an inherited neurological disorder caused by an autosomal recessive mutation in the RALGAPA1 gene. This mutation disrupts normal brain development and signal transmission, leading to coordination problems, tremors, and balance issues from around four weeks of age.

👉This new test is available under test code H156 and has been added to the CombiBreed package for the Belgian Shepherd under test code H513.

Canine Multiple System Degeneration (CMSD) is a progressive neurological disorder involving degeneration across multiple regions of the central nervous system. Clinical signs usually appear between 10 and 14 weeks of age and include intention tremors, cerebellar ataxia, hypermetria, and impaired balance, often resulting in frequent falls. Due to the severity and progression of symptoms, most affected dogs are euthanized between 12 and 24 months to prevent further suffering.

Carrier status can be identified through DNA testing with our DNA test for CMSD in Chinese Crested Dogs (test code H165). This test is also part of the CombiBreed package for Chinese Crested Dogs with test code H514.

Spastic Ataxia is an inherited neurological disorder in the Great Pyrenees, caused by a mutation in the SACS gene.The disease affects long nerve fibers, leading to coordination problems, muscle stiffness, and weakness in the hind limbs. Symptoms typically appear around 4 months of age and progressively worsen over time. Due to the gradual decline in mobility and quality of life, many affected dogs are euthanized between the ages of 4 and 7.

The test is available under test code H157 and has been included in both CombiBreed Great Pyrenees and the CombiBreed ‘Breeding Healthy Pets’ package for Belgium. This package is exclusively available at www.combibreed.com.

🧬Retinopathy with Vitamin E Deficiency (RVED), also known as Ataxia with Vitamin E Deficiency (AVED), is a hereditary neurological disorder seen in English Cocker Spaniels. It is caused by an autosomal recessive mutation - now identifiable with CombiBreed DNA test - that results in a loss of protein function and subsequent vitamin E deficiency. This deficiency can lead to retinal degeneration and vision impairment, and may also cause neurological symptoms in some cases.

👉This DNA test is available as a single test with testcode H164 or as part of the package CombiBreed English Cocker Spaniel (test code H598) or CombiBreed English Cocker Spaniel + AON (test code H273).

🧬 The disease typically begins between 10 and 12 weeks of age, presenting as clusters of epileptic seizures - often occurring during sleep - and progresses rapidly, leading to severe neurological decline. Seizures are generally unresponsive to medication, and affected kittens are often euthanized at a young age due to poor prognosis.

The test is available under test code K339 and has been added to CombiBreed Bengal (test code K875).
