Standard Canine Genetic Health Screening
Panels test for mutations associated with various inherited diseases, including those that can affect lifespan, quality of life, or require specific treatments.
- A "Clear" means the dog does not carry the specific genetic mutations associated with certain diseases or conditions. This implies the dog is not at risk of developing those conditions and will not pass the abnormal gene to its offspring.
- A "Carrier" refers to a dog that has inherited a copy of a recessive gene mutation for a specific genetic disorder, but does not show symptoms of the condition themselves. While not affected by the condition, they can still pass the mutated gene to their offspring.
- An "affected" result indicates that the dog possesses the specific gene variant linked to a particular disorder.
VGL Genetic Diversity Test Results
Internal Relatedness: The IR value is a measure of genetic diversity within an individual that takes into consideration both heterozygosity of alleles at each STR loci and their relative frequency in the population. Therefore, IR values heterozygosity over homozygosity and uncommon alleles over common alleles. IR values are unique to each dog and cannot be compared between dogs. Two dogs may have
