Cardigan Panel

Panel Includes:

Degenerative Myelopathy Test: DM is a degenerative disease of the spinal cord characterized by muscle weakness in the hind limbs. This disease can eventually lead to paraplegia.

Coat Length Test: DNA testing for varying coat-length genotypes is available for many breeds. Long-haired coat length is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

E Locus Test: Most often used to determine the relationship between the Black (dominant) to Yellow (recessive). Tells whether your dog is genetically yellow or just carries the gene for lighter coat colors like cream, red, or apricot.

B Locus Test: This test reveals whether your dog will be chocolate-colored or if it carries the chocolate gene that can show up in future litters.

D Locus Test: This test shows whether a dog’s coat color will appear diluted (like blue, silver, or lilac) or whether it carries the gene for these lighter shades.
