DNA Screening Schemes and Results
The Kennel Club, in conjunction with a number of other organisations and the breed clubs concerned, runs DNA screening schemes for many breeds.
The DNA tests used in these schemes can accurately identify clear, carrier and affected dogs, and can be used by breeders to effectively eliminate undesirable disease genes in their stock. It is anticipated that additional schemes will be available for other inherited conditions in other pedigree dog breeds in the near future.
Please note that as the prcd-PRA DNA test for all breeds is subject to a patent, the Kennel Club will currently only record and publish results issued by Optigen.
Breeds have been split into alphabetical listing as below. For further information on the breeds, specific conditions and lists of results, click on the links below.
