This test is part of the Official UK Kennel Club DNA Testing Scheme in Australian Shepherd, Bearded Collie, Border Collie, Lancashire Heeler, Nova Scotia Duck tolling Retriever ( NSDTR / Toller), Rough Collie, Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie), and Smooth Collie.
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 |
Collie Eye Anomaly is an inherited disease with recessive mode of inheritacne which results in abnormal development of the eye's choroid.The disease can be mild or servere, in the mild form of the disease, there is a thinning in the choroid layer of the eye but the dog's vision remains normal, however, dogs with the mild form of the disease can produce severly afected offspring.
In the Severe form of the disease, the dog can suffer serious loss of vision, Colobomas can be seen around and at the optic nerve head as outpouchings in the eye tissue layers. Colobomas may lead to secondary complications such as partial or complete retinal detachments and/or growth of new but abnormal blood vessels with bleeding inside the eye. The disease can affect one or both eyes and can lead to vision loss although this disease rarely lead to complete blindness.

Genotype: N / N [ Homozygous normal ]

It is very unlikely that the dog will develop Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) / Choroidal Hypoplasia (CH) *. The dog will never pass the mutation to its offspring, and therefore it can be bred to any other dog.
Carrier
Genotype: N / CEA [ Heterozygous ]

It is very unlikely that the dog will develop Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) / Choroidal Hypoplasia (CH) * 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)

The Disease |
 |
|
Cobalamin malabsorption (merslunf-Gräsbeck Syndrome (IGS)) refers to a genetic disorder by which the vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, fails to be absorbed from the intestine. Lack of cobalamin leads to changes in the hematopoietic system and to neurological symptoms due to irreversible damage of the brain and nervous system. Symptoms include anorexia, lethargy and failure to gain weight. Cobalamin malabsorption can be managed by supplementation with regular doses of cobalamin.

The Disease |
 |
|
Sensory Neuropathy (SN) is an inherited neurological disease affecting the Border Collie breed. The disease is characterised by degeneration of sensory and motor nerve cells. Symptoms begin between the age of 2 and 7 months and include: knuckling of the feet, wounds caused by self chewing or licking of the limbs due to lack of feeling, progressive loss of coordination (ataxia), progressive loss of sensation occurs in all limbs, urinary incontinence and regurgitation can occur in the later stages of the disease. Affected dogs are usually euthanized around the age of 2 years.

The Disease |
 |
|
TNS is a hereditary disease where the bone marrow produces neutrophils (white cells) but is unable to effectively release them into the bloodstream. Affected puppies have an impaired immune system and will eventually die from infections they cannot fight.
Once thought to be rare, it is now believed that the disease goes undiagnosed for several reasons. Even when looking, blood counts do not always show lower than normal neutrophil (white blood cell) counts. Because it is an autoimmune-deficiency disease, young puppies present a variety of symptoms depending upon what infections they fall prone to. Thus many cases are not properly diagnosed and have just been thought to be "fading puppies".The age of onset varies depending on which infection is involved at the time. Most puppies become ill before leaving the breeder but some do not have symptoms until later. Most affected puppies die or are euthanised by about 4 months of age.
|
|
|
|
|
Trait of Inheritance |
|
TNS follows an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.

Description |
|
The genetic defect leading to the disease has been identified. By DNA testing, the responsible mutation can be shown directly. This method provides a very high accuracy test and can be done at any age. It offers the possibility to distinguish not only between affected and clear dogs, but also to identify clinically healthy carriers. This is an essential information for controlling the disease in the breed, as carriers are able to spread the disease in the population, but can not be identified by means of common laboratory diagnostic.
