Test Overview:

Due to autosomal dominant inheritance, breeding cats that carry the mutation is not recommended. Each offspring of a carrier has about a 50% chance of inheriting the mutant gene and being at risk for disease. Genetic testing of breeding cats is essential to identify carriers and avoid breeding affected animals. Responsible breeding practices include exclusion of carriers to reduce disease incidence while maintaining genetic diversity.
