Test Overview:

Due to the dominant inheritance, breeding affected or carrier dogs increases the risk of cystinuria in offspring. Genetic screening is recommended before breeding to avoid producing affected puppies. Breeders should avoid mating two carriers or affected dogs to decrease disease incidence. Responsible breeding practices incorporate genetic testing results along with health and phenotype considerations to manage the disease.

Category:

Urinary system / Urologic - Associated with the kidneys, bladder, ureters and urethra

Gene:

SLC7A9

Variant Detected:

c.964G>A

Severity:

Moderate-Severe. This is a disease with significant welfare impact on the affected animal, in terms of clinical signs and generally reduced life expectancy.

Mode of Inheritance:

Autosomal Recessive

Recommended Screening:

Genetic testing of the SLC7A9 gene will reliably determine if a dog is a genetic carrier of cystinuria (miniature pinscher type).
