Kennel Club
This test is part of the Official UK Kennel Club DNA Testing Scheme in Chinese Crested, Jack Russell Terrier, Lancashire Heeler, Miniature Bull Terrier, Parson Russell Terrier (PRT), Sealyham Terrier, Tibetan Terrier, and Welsh Terrier.

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
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.

Clear

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.
Sample Requirements
Whole blood in EDTA tube (0.5 - 1 ml) or Buccal Swabs.
Turnaround
1 - 2 weeks

  2 ) Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)

Breeds
Alpine Dachsbracke , Fox Terrier , Jack Russell Terrier , Parson Russell Terrier (PRT) , Patterdale Terrier , Tenterfield Terrier .
Kennel Club
This test is part of the Official UK Kennel Club DNA Testing Scheme in Jack Russell Terrier, and Parson Russell Terrier (PRT).

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.

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
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.

  3 ) van den Ende-Gupta Syndrom (VDEGS)

Breeds

Clear

Genotype: N / N [ Homozygous normal ]

The dog is noncarrier of the mutant gene.

It is very unlikely that the dog will develop van den Ende-Gupta Syndrom (VDEGS). The dog will never pass the mutation to its offspring, and therefore it can be bred to any other dog.

 

Carrier

Genotype: N / VDEGS [ 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 van den Ende-Gupta Syndrom (VDEGS) 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: VDEGS / VDEGS [ Homozygous mutant ]

 

The dog carries two copies of the mutant gene and therefore it will pass the mutant gene to its entire offspring.

Sample Requirements
Whole blood in EDTA tube (0.5 - 1 ml) or Buccal Swabs.
Turnaround

The Disease
Hypothyreosis stands for all different kind of thyroid gland sub-function, independent of the origin. A lot of symptoms relate to Hypothyreosis including general symptoms like lethargy or increase in weight, as well as problems concerning heart, skin and nerves. In Spanish Water Dogs sub-function of the thyroid gland can originate from a genetic source. Affected dogs have a very short lifespan and normally die as puppies.
