Test Overview:

As an autosomal recessive disorder, both parents must carry the mutation to produce affected kittens. Genetic screening of breeding cats to identify carriers is essential. Avoid mating two carriers to prevent affected offspring. Carrier cats can be bred to clear cats, producing carrier but unaffected kittens. Aim for gradually reducing mutation frequency while maintaining breed diversity. Genetic counselling is recommended for breeders to manage breeding programs responsibly.
