This test is part of the Official UK Kennel Club DNA Testing Scheme in Dalmatian.
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 |
 |
A genetic variant of the PRKG2 gene has been identified to be associated with disproportionate dwarfism in the Dogo Argentino breed. The disease becomes apparent at the age of about 2 months. Affected dogs have a shorter height and body length. A disproportionally large head with a pronounced vertical groove between the eyes and forelimb angular aberrations (carpus valgus) that can cause gait abnormalities are also typical symptoms of the disease.
The PRKG2 gene encodes for a protein which has a signalling role in the termination of chondrocyte proliferation and initiation of the differentiation into bone. |

Clear
Genotype: N / N [ Homozygous normal ]
The dog is noncarrier of the mutant gene.
It is very unlikely that the dog will develop Dwarfism ( Disproportionate Dwarfism ) DD. The dog will never pass the mutation to its offspring, and therefore it can be bred to any other dog.
Carrier
Genotype: N / DD [ 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 Dwarfism ( Disproportionate Dwarfism ) DD 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: DD / DD [ 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 Dwarfism ( Disproportionate Dwarfism ) DD and will pass the mutant gene to its entire offspring
