Glomerulopathy (PLN) NPHS1

(ONLINE PRICE)

Test Overview:

Genetic testing for NPHS1 and linked KIRREL2 mutations is advised, especially in predisposed breeds like Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, Airedale Terriers, and Danish-Swedish Farmdogs. Carriers and affected dogs should be identified to avoid breeding affected puppies. Avoid breeding two carriers together due to the increased risk of affected litters. Responsible breeding aims to reduce mutation frequency while maintaining breed diversity. Early veterinary screening and genetic counselling should accompany breeding decisions.
