Neonatal diarrhoea in piglets is often caused by strains of Escherichia coli bacteria that have a cell surface antigen called K88 (renamed F4) that bind to the gut to release enterotoxins and thus produce diarrhoea that can lead to high mortality. The K88 mutation is associated with resistance to this type of diarrhoea in piglets.

This pack includes the recommended tests defined by the Flemish breeding program for Italian Volpino: Von Willebrand disease type 1 (DOG-VWD1), Primary lens luxation (DOG-PLL) and Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 12 (DOG-NCL12-ACD).

This package includes the mandatory tests defined by the Flemish breeding program for Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: episodic Falling Syndrome (DOG-EFS), dry eye curly coat syndrome (DOG-CKCSID), degenerative myelopathy 2 (DOG-DM2).

This panel includes the essential tests to be performed for the Irish Setter: canine leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 (DOG-CLAD1), progressive retinal atrophy type 1 (DOG-PRA-RCD1) and rod-cone dysplasia type 4 (DOG-PRA-RCD4).

Intervertebral disc disease is a premature abnormal degeneration of the intervertebral discs. In chondrodystrophic breeds, premature calcification of the nucleus pulposus causes disc degeneration in young dogs. These abnormal discs are prone to herniation into the spinal canal where inflammation and bleeding can cause severe pain and neurological dysfunction called intervertebral disc disease. This condition can lead to the death of the animal. IVDD can be tested for in any breed, but is most commonly found in the breeds listed below.

This package includes the mandatory tests defined by the Flemish breeding program for Mastiff: multifocal retinopathy type 1 (DOG-CMR1) and Degenerative myelopathy 2 (DOG-DM2). The Flemish breeding program also recommends the tests included in our package DOG-MAST-VL+.

The locus E or extension refers to a mutation in the MC1R gene. Dogs with one or two dominant E alleles produce eumelanin (black pigment) while dogs with two copies of the e^1 allele will have a red or yellow coat. For dogs with at least one E allele, coat colour will be determined by other genes, including the A, B, D and K locus. Two other variants of this mutation were identified in 2018: the e^2 allele found in the Australian Cattle Dog (see DOG-LOCUS-E-CATTLEDOG) and the e^3 allele in the Husky (see DOG-LOCUS-E-HUSKY).
