Test Overview:

Because this is a dominant trait, cats with one copy of the mutation are affected or at risk. Avoid breeding affected cats to prevent passing the mutation. Genetic testing is essential to identify affected cats and carriers. Mate only cats tested clear (without the mutation) or ensure no affected offspring will result. As this mutation is dominant, offspring of an affected cat have a 50% chance of inheriting the mutation. Responsible breeding aims to exclude this mutation while maintaining genetic diversity.
