(ONLINE PRICE)

Test Overview:

Since this variant is autosomal recessive, breeding two carriers risks producing affected offspring (25% per litter). Carriers are asymptomatic but can pass the mutation to offspring. Genetic testing is strongly recommended for breeding cats to identify carriers and avoid carrier × carrier matings. Responsible breeding programs should aim to reduce the frequency of this mutation while maintaining genetic diversity within the breed.
