Hereditary deafness, also known as Early-onset Adult Deafness (EAOD), is a hereditary hearing disorder that occurs in the Beauceron and is associated with a mutation in the CDH23 gene. This gene plays a key role in the functioning of the hair cells in the inner ear, which are necessary for processing sound.
The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and usually causes bilateral deafness at a young age. In addition to bilateral deafness, some dogs may exhibit balance problems, startle responses or behavioural changes.

This test is available under test code: H182.

This combination package is designed to provide essential insights into your dog’s genetic health, traits and diversity, and includes DNA tests for a wide range of important diseases and/or traits. In addition, we also calculate the inbreeding coefficient (COI) and the percentage of heterozygosity in the DNA. The COI indicates the degree of inbreeding in the dog, whilst the heterozygosity percentage is a measure of individual genetic diversity.

This test is available under test code: H526.

X-linked Myotubular Myopathy (XLMTM) is a serious hereditary muscle disorder that has been identified in Maine C***s and is caused by a mutation in the MTM1 gene. The condition affects muscle function and leads to progressive muscle weakness.
The first symptoms usually appear between the ages of 4 and 7 months. Affected cats may have difficulty walking and eating, lose muscle mass and find it harder to open their jaws. The condition is progressive and can seriously affect quality of life.

This test is available under test code: K478.

Intestinal Lipid Malabsorption (ILM) is an inherited metabolic disorder seen in Kelpies, caused by a mutation in the ACSL5 gene. This results in reduced intestinal absorption of dietary fats despite a normal to increased appetite.
Puppies are typically born appearing healthy but develop clinical signs within the first weeks to months of life. Common signs include reduced growth, leading to smaller size compared to littermates, as well as increased appetite and soft or fatty stools.

This new test can be ordered using test code: H097 and has been added to CombiBreed Kelpie H147.

2,8-Dihydroxyadenine (2,8-DHA) Urolithiasis is an inherited condition caused by a mutation in the APRT gene. This disrupts the normal breakdown of purines, leading to the formation of crystals and urinary stones within the urinary tract.
The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and can occur in multiple dog breeds. Affected dogs may develop symptoms such as difficulty urinating, blood in the urine and recurrent urinary tract infections. In more severe cases, urinary blockages, kidney damage or kidney failure may occur.

This new test can be ordered using test code: H110.

Cerebellar Ataxia (CA) is an inherited neurological condition affecting the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for coordination and balance. In the Kelpie, this form is associated with a mutation in the LINGO3 gene, leading to impaired motor control.
The first signs usually appear at a young age. Affected dogs may show an uncoordinated gait, balance difficulties and tremors of the head or body. The condition can be progressive and may significantly impact quality of life.
This new test can be ordered using test code: H098 and has been added to CombiBreed Kelpie H147.
