Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Poodle Type), Variant 1

$50

(ONLINE PRICE)

Test Overview:

Mandatory genetic testing of Poodles intended for breeding for both known TNXB variants (variant 1 and variant 2). Avoid breeding two carriers to prevent affected puppies. Mate carriers only to genetically clear dogs after testing offspring. Preserve genetic diversity while minimizing mutation frequency.

Category:

Musculoskeletal - Associated with muscles, bones and associated structures

Gene:

TNXB

Variant Detected:

chr12:1499124 (canFam3): G/A; chr12:1490385 (canFam3): G/A

Severity:

Moderate. This disease can cause significant signs of discomfort and/or dysfunction in affected animals. It may involve relatively high treatment/management costs, and can sometimes reduce life expectancy.

Mode of Inheritance:

Autosomal Recessive

Recommended Screening:

Genetic testing of the TNXB gene will reliably determine if a dog is a genetic Ccrrier of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
