Background
The Combination Pack CombiBreed Group 01 is assembled for dogs within the FCI Breedgroup 1, Sheepdogs and Cattle Dogs. This package covers several important traits and can be based on samples from animals at any age. Information on individual tests is available at our website. This Combination Package contains the following markers:
? H306 Multifocal Retinopathy 3 (cmr3) 1
? H307 Multifocal Retinopathy 3 (cmr3) 2
? H360 Gallbladder Mucocele
? H367 IGS (Selective Cobalamin Malabsorption) 2
? H414 Primary Ciliary dyskinesia
? H421 Hiplaxity 2
? H434 Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)
? H484 CLAD, Type III
? H487 Brachyury (Bobtail)
? H489 Dermatofibrosis
? H498 Myotonia Congenita 2
? H721 Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) 5
? H728 CSNB (Congenital Stationary Night Blindness)
? H745 X-SCID
? H748 Mucopolysaccharidosis Type VII
? H752 Gray Collie Syndrome (Cyclic Neutropenia)
? H770 rcd3 PRA
? H787 Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS)
? H809 Hereditary Cataract (HC) - HSF4
? H811 Hyperuricemia (HUU)
? H849 Primary Lens Luxation (PLL)
? H871 CMR1 (Canine Multifocal Retinopathy)
? H872 Pituitary dwarfism
? H915 gPRA
? H919 Hiplaxity 1 A small possibility exists that one or two tests which are part of a combination package will not provide results. Because of the low pricing of the combination packages, we cannot retest a single marker if this marker fails in a combination package.If a particular test is highly important to you, we recommend that you order such a marker as a single test in our webshop. If needed, repeated testing is routinely performed on all single tests without extra costs.Please refer to our FAQ-section for a further explanation.
Test specific information
PharmaDNA, introduces a different strategy for DNA tests for several genetic markers. Recently, technical improvements have allowed for the combination of several genetic markers in one test. In addition to the strategy to introduce CombiBreed Combination Packages, we have compiled the packages by breed group and not for a specific breed. Why CombiBreed packages per breed group?
? Our novel technology allows for logistical efficiency within our laboratory. This permits us to introduce the CombiBreed combination packages for a very competitive price.
? The CombiBreed packages contain DNA tests available in at least one breed within a breed group. Usually, scientific publications indicate if this genetic variation is validated for a breed.
? In our experience, the same genetic variation frequently occurs in closely related breeds, although the variation is only scientifically published in one breed. Mutations described and validated for a particular breed can thus also be present in other closely related breeds within a breed group. Laboratories performing these tests confirm the presence of mutations in other breeds.
? Our range of DNA tests will be reviewed several times per year. Newly available tests will be published on the website.
? We kindly request you to contact us if your dog breed is not listed within a CombiBreed Group. An actual overview of the genetic variation present in a breed can be assessed by performing the CombiBreed combination packages. Valuable information about previously unknown genetic variation may be found using our CombiBreed tests. However, ultimately our clients decide about the DNA tests ordered.
