for UK registered dogs, Laboklin can send results of the tests which are part of the Official UK Kennel Club DNA testing scheme to the Kennel Club (KC) to be recorded and published
as part of the Kennel Club scheme. Results will only be recorded and published by the KC if the result report includes the dog’s
microchip or tattoo number along with either the dog’s registered name or registered number. Any test results that do not carry these identifying
features will not be recorded by the Kennel Club.
In order to ensure that test results are sent to the Kennel Club, customers must also sign the declaration section on the order form to give Laboklin permission to do so.
important:
When you sign the declaration, Laboklin will send the results to the KC on your behalf, and you do not need to send them to the KC yourself again to avoid unnecessary duplications.

The Disease |
 |
|
Late onset ataxia (LOA) in the Parson Russell Terrier is a genetic disease characterised by progressive gait incoordination and loss of balance. Early symptoms are usually seen at the age of 6-12 month, the disease progresses, gait becomes increasingly incoordinated with difficulty in moving around or complete loss of mobility.
This disease is caused by a mutation in the calcium activated neutral proteinase 1 (CAPN1)-gene.

Genotype: N / N [ Homozygous normal ]
The dog is noncarrier of the mutant gene.
It is very unlikely that the dog will develop Late Onset Ataxia (LOA). The dog will never pass the mutation to its offspring, and therefore it can be bred to any other dog.
Carrier
Genotype: N / LOA [ Heterozygous ]
The dog carries one copy of the mutant gene and one
copy of the normal gene.
It is very unlikely that the dog will develop Late Onset Ataxia (LOA) but since it carries the mutant gene, it can pass it on to its offspring with the probability of 50%. Carriers should only be bred to clear dogs. Avoid breeding carrier to carrier because 25% of their offspring is expected to be affected (see table above)
Affected
Genotype: LOA / LOA [ Homozygous mutant ]
The dog carries two copies of the mutant gene and
therefore it will pass the mutant gene to its entire offspring.
The dog is likely to develop Late Onset Ataxia (LOA) and will pass the mutant gene to its entire offspring

The Disease |
spinocerebellar ataxia is an inherited disorder of the cerebellum in which affected dogs suffer a poorly coordinated movement, goose-stepping gait when getting excited or when excercised, sometimes there is lack of balance and frequent falling.

The Disease |
|
The zonula fibres secure the position of the lens. Dogs affected from PLL have painful glaucomas and blindness due to a dislocation of the lens due to a breakdown or disintegration of the zonula fibres. PLL can be inherited or acquired. Therefore the disease might also affect genetically free dogs. First clinical signs of the inherited form of PLL are detectable at the very young age of 20 months. A complete lens luxation typically occurs at the age of 3 to 8 years.
|
|
|
|
|
Trait of Inheritance |
Recently, Cathryn Mellersh and colleagues (Farias et al., 2010) identified a mutation in the gene ADAMTS17 that is responsible for the development of inherited PLL.
The mode of inheritance of PLL is autosomal recessive. This means that PLL-affected dogs receive one mutated gene (allel) from the mother as well as from the father. Hence, the parents need to carry at least one mutated allel.
In most cases heterozygous carriers are healthy. However, it is estimated that about 2 – 20 % of the carriers will develop PLL. |

Genotype: N / N [ Homozygous normal ]
The dog is noncarrier of the mutant gene.
A dog like this is healthy and does not carry the mutated allel responsible for PLL disease. Offspring
of this dog will not get the mutated allel.
Carrier
Genotype: N / PLL [ Heterozygous ]
The dog carries one copy of the mutant gene and one
copy of the normal gene.
The dog has one copy of the normal allel and in addition one copy of the mutated allel. Carriers have
a low risk of developing PLL, however they will pass on the mutation to their offspring. In most cases heterozygous carriers are healthy. However, it is estimated that about 2 – 20 % of the carriers will develop PLL
Affected
Genotype: PLL / PLL [ Homozygous mutant ]
The dog carries two copies of the mutant gene and
therefore it will pass the mutant gene to its entire offspring.
The dog has two copies of the mutated allel. Affected dogs have a high risk of developing PLL during
their lifetime. The mutated allel will be passed to 100% of the offspring. It is recommended to
examine the eyes of genetically affected dogs every 6 months by a specialist in order to detect the
clinical signs of PLL as early as possible.

The Disease |
|
Canine degenerative myelopathy (also known as chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy) is a progressive disease of the spinal cord in older dogs. The disease has an insidious onset typically between 7 and 14 years of age. It begins with a loss of coordination (ataxia) in the hind limbs. As of July 15, 2008 the mutated gene responsible for DM has been found present in 43 breeds including German Shepherds, Boxers, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and both breeds of Welsh Corgis. The disease is chronic and progressive, and resulting in paralysis.
|
|
|
|
|
Clinical Signs |
|
Degenerative myelopathy initially affects the back legs and causes muscle weakness and loss, and lack of coordination. These cause a staggering effect that may appear to be arthritis. The dog may drag one or both rear paws when it walks. This dragging can cause the nails of one foot to be worn down. The condition may lead to extensive paralysis of the back legs. As the disease progresses, the animal may display symptoms such as incontinence and has considerable difficulties with both balance and walking. If allowed to progress, the animal will show front limb involvement and extensive muscle atrophy. Eventually cranial nerve or respiratory muscle involvement necessitates euthanasia.
Progression of the disease is generally slow but highly variable. The animal could be crippled within a few months, or may survive up to three years
|
|
|
| |
|
Trait of Inheritance |
|
Tow alleles are invloved in Degenerative Myelopathy, A and G, therefore a test result can be A/A, A/G, or G/G.
Mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive with variable penetrance;
