AffinityDNA Dog Uric Acid DNA Test for Hyperuricosuria - Home Sample Collection Kit for 1 Canine - Dog Uric Acid Testing
Product description Hyperuricosuria, or elevated uric acid level in the urine, is inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder and is characterized by the formation of bladder stones and occasional kidney stones. This test is available for all dog breeds. Dalmatians are generally considered to be homozygous affected however with DNA testing efforts are being made to identify carriers which could allow for the future elimination of the disorder. Bulldog and Black Russian Terriers are also known to be significantly affected by the disease. The DNA test is an accurate, convenient, and affordable tool to help breeders avoid producing Hyperuricosuria at risk offspring and significantly reduce the gene frequency in future generations. The results confirm 1 of the 3 possible genotypes for the tested dog: CLEAR (those having 2 copies of the normal allele and are normal). CARRIER (those having 1 copy of the normal allele and 1 copy of the mutation but are not at risk for developing bladder stones). AFFECTED (those having 2 copies of the mutation and are at risk for developing bladder stones). Ingredients The DNA Sample Collection Kit Contains - 4 x sterile mouth swabs (all 4 for 1 dog), step-by-step sample collection instructions, registration form and return envelope. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Directions Hold the dog’s head firmly against your body with one hand. With the other hand, insert the swab into the dog’s mouth and place it against the inside surface of the cheek. Firmly rub the swab against the inside of the cheek, rotating the swab for about ten seconds. The objective is to collect loose cheek cells, NOT saliva. Please contact us with any questions. Legal Disclaimer The test identifies whether the tested dog has inherited the mutated gene responsible for Hyperuricosuria and reports one of three possible outcomes – Clear, Carrier or Affected. It is not an ancestry test, breed test or parentage test. It is for elevated uric acid (Hyperuricosuria) only. See more
