Test Overview:

Avoid breeding female cats known to be carriers of the NSDHL mutation, since they can produce affected offspring and due to the risk of transmitting the disorder. Male cats with the mutation are typically not viable and should not be considered for breeding. Genetic testing should be conducted for breeding cats to identify carriers. Responsible breeders should avoid mating carriers to reduce the prevalence of this disorder. Follow general cat breeding best practices such as health screening, avoiding inbreeding, and maintaining genetic diversity. Breeders should prioritize cat welfare and exclude any cats producing offspring with serious inherited diseases or disorders compromising quality of life. Sharing genetic test results openly with other breeders and potential buyers is essential for responsible breeding management.
