DNA screening - Chinese Crested PLL
The test distinguishes between clear, carrier and affected dogs. Clear dogs have no copies of the mutant gene responsible for the condition and will neither develop the condition nor pass the gene on to their offspring. Carrier dogs have one copy of the normal gene and one copy of the mutant gene and so will pass the mutant gene to approximately half of their offspring. Affected dogs have two copies of the mutant gene that causes the condition and will develop the disease.
Test results from the following laboratories will automatically be sent to the Kennel Club for inclusion on its database :-
