Maxillary Canine Tooth Mesioversion (MCM)
The disease is also known as a lance canine, and it is characterised by a developmental dental anomaly characterized by the forward displacement of one or both upper adult canines toward the snout. MCM can have many adverse symptoms including abnormal occlusion, periodontal disease due to closer proximity of the canine to the upper third incisor, and/or ulceration of the upper lip. Treatment of MCM includes extraction or orthodontic repositioning. This dental anomaly is observed nearly exclusively in the Shetland Sheepdog breed.

Dyserythropoietic Anemia and Myopathy Syndrome (DAMS)
The disease is characterised by progressive weakness, muscle atrophy, pelvic limb weakness, swallowing problems and regurgitation. In English Springer Spaniel symptoms also include anaemia and cardiomyopathy. Please note that that the mutation which causes the disease in Labrador is different from the mutation which causes the disease in English Springer Spaniel.

Mitochondrial Fission Encephalopathy (MFE) / Familial Cerebellar Ataxi
MFE is characterised by ataxia, hypermetria, conscious proprioceptive deficits, behavioural abnormalities, and a visual deficit. Symptoms start early in life when the pups are 6-16 weeks old and include visual impairment unsteady gait, uncoordinated movement, stiffness in the muscles of the back legs, bizarre behavioural changes and eventually puppies become unable to stand, and euthanasia is usually carried out as a result of continued deterioration and unresponsiveness to treatment.

Statistical Prevalence of Lafora Epilepsy
The Lafora variant has been identified in Dachshund, Beagle, Basset Hound, Chihuahua, French Bulldog, Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Newfoundland. The prevalence of the mutation varies greatly from breed to breed. The graph below shows the prevalence of each genotype in the different dog breeds tested by Laboklin
The test

Hereditary Xanthinuria Type II (XDH-MOCOS)
Hereditary xanthinuria is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that results in the presence of excessive amounts of xanthine in the urine. Xanthine is a metabolic by-product in the metabolic breakdown of nucleic acids to uric acid. This increases the risk for formation of xanthine bladder or kidney stones and can cause serious kidney disease.

MCAD deficiency ( MCADD )
MCADD is a fatty acid oxidation disorder. It is an inherited disease affecting the CKCS breed. This condition prevents the normal use of fat as an alternative source of energy during times of fasting or increased metabolic demands. Affected animals cannot burn fat for energy when their bodies run out of glucose, and as a result they may be affected by low blood sugar, altered central nervous system function, coma, or sudden death. With an early diagnosis, MCADD can be managed successfully by diet.

Factor XI deficiency (F11 KBT)
Affected dogs sometimes show severe protracted bleeding occurring 12 to 24 hours after surgical interventions. Affected dogs rarely have a mild spontaneous bleeding tendency, and many are asymptomatic.

Cone Degeneration ( CD )
Cone degeneration (CD) is an autosomal recessive disease affecting the German Shorthaired Pointer breed and characterized by day-blindness and absence of retinal cone function in adults. It?s symptoms are similar to the human achromatopsia. The disease is caused by a mutation in the CNGB3 gene, which leads to Cone Degeneration (CD), which is a disease of the retina. In affected puppies cone cells start to degenerate in the puppy-stage, leading to a distinct form of day blindness. First symptoms can be recognised at the age of about 8-12 weeks. Affected puppies avoid bright light and can be painful. Vision in dim light conditions or at night stays normal. Symptoms continues to worsen as cone cell degeneration progresses over time.

testing is easy
To test a dog, we need a DNA sample, which can be collected using simple mouth swabs or a blood sample collected by the vet. Both buccal swabs and blood tubes are available from us free of charge. Samples can be sent to our Manchester address below.
Turnaround 2-3 weeks or sooner for most DNA test.
Request Sample Materials
LABOKLIN is a DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025 Accredited laboratory. This means that all our tests are performed according to the reliable accreditation standards and verified procedures.
