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 |
|
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;

Description |
|
Dilated Cardiomyopathy is an inherited disease affecting the Standard Schnauzer breed. The disease is characterized by a swelling of one of the heart’s ventricles (lower chambers). The left ventricle is affected more often than the right. This weakens the ability of the heart to pump blood and consequently the heart becomes larger and the beats become weaker. Affected dogs may not exhibit any signs for years, however, eventually, start exhibiting symptoms of ill health including: Lethargy, loss of appetite, coughing especially during exercise, gasping for breath, fainting or collapsing and progressive abdominal swelling. Although these signs can signify the onset of heart failure, they are also shared with other conditions and therefore testing is vital for the diagnosis.

3 ) Hyperuricosuria / Urate Stones (HUU, SLC)

|
New Kennel Club DNA testing scheme for HUU in Dalmatian |
The Kennel Club has agreed a new DNA testing scheme for Hyperuricosuria (HUU) / Urate Stone Disorder (USD) in Dalmatian. Under this scheme, HUU test results can be sent by Laboklin to the Kennel Club to be recorded and published only if the submission and testing procedure complies with the following protocol:
- that dogs to be tested are microchipped and registered before the test sample is taken;
- that the test sample (whether buccal swab or EDTA blood sample or other) is taken by a veterinary surgeon or veterinary nurse who first confirms the microchip identity of the test subject and records both the microchip number and registration name on the sample container/package;
- that the sample is sent directly by the veterinary surgery to LABOKLIN.
Copies of all future test certificate results issued by LABOKLIN will only be recorded by the Kennel Club at this time provided they comply with the above protocols.
Please ensure that the veterinary surgeon or veterinary nurse taking the sample complete the vet section on the order form, sign it and stamp it, send it directly to Laboklin and ensure that there stamp is on the package / envelope containing the samples submitted. |

The Disease |
Hyperuricosuria is characterized by elevated levels of uric acid in the urine. This disease predisposes dogs to form stones in their bladders or sometimes kidneys. The trait can occur in any breed but is most commonly found in the Dalmatian, Bulldog and Black Russian Terrier. The mutation was recently described in Spanish Waterdog (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26538670). Here at Laboklin we recently tested an Australian Shepherd as carrier of HUU but we have no information about its prevalence in this breed, and therefore testing recomended if your aussie is showing symptoms of the disease. |
|
|
|
|
Trait of Inheritance |
|
Hyperuricosuria is inherited as a simple autosomal recessive trait.

The Disease |
 |
NECAP1 is a novel form of PRA implicating the Giant Schnauzer breed. The disease is caused by a mutation in the NECAP1 gene. Like other forms of PRA this disease leads to retinal degeneration and subsequent blindness. The variant was identified by scientists at the Animal Health Trust and it is thought to be autosomal recessive. A test is now available at Laboklin. Please note that Giant Schnauzer can also be affected by the prcd PRA form of PRA which is also available at Laboklin.
The test is also known as NECAP PRA5 |

The Disease |
 |
Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) as an inherited disease occurs in many dog breeds and also in different forms. The form of progressive rod-cone degeneration (prcd-PRA) is a photoreceptor degeneration in dogs with varying ages of onset. This genetic disorder causes the degeneration of retinal cells in the eye: firstly, rod cells are affected, thus leading to progressive night blindness. Secondly, degeneration of the cone cells results in complete blindness of the dog, even in full light situations during the day.
Age of onset of clinical symptoms is typically in early adolescence or early adulthood. However, the onset of the disease may vary among different dog breeds.
Since diagnosis of retinal diseases in dogs may prove difficult, the genetic test on prcd-PRA helps to diagnose a specific disease and is also a useful tool for breeders to eliminate the mutated gene from the dog population.
Please note that Lapponian Herder can be affected two other forms of PRA, the IFT122-PRA and the Canine Multi-Focal Retinopathy (CMR) which is caused by a mutation in the BEST1-gene. |
|
|
|
|
Trait of Inheritance |
The mutation in the PRCD gene which has been suggested to cause prcd-PRA has recently been published by the group of Gustavo D. Aguirre at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, and could be found in several dog breeds.
Prcd-PRA is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. So there are three conditions a dog can be: it can be clear (genotype N/N or homozygous normal) meaning that it does not carry the mutation and will not develop the prcd-form of PRA. Since it also cannot pass the mutation onto its offspring, it can be mated to any other dog.
A dog which has one copy of the PRCD gene with the mutation and one copy without the mutation is called a carrier or heterozygous (genotype N/PRA); while it will not be affected by prcd-PRA, it can pass the mutation onto its offspring and should therefore only be mated to clear dogs.
Dogs that develop this form of PRA have two PRCD gene copies with the mutation (genotype PRA/PRA or homozygous affected); they will always pass the mutated gene onto their offspring and should also be mated only to clear dogs.. |
