Polyneuropathy type 1 (LNP1) is a progressive neuromuscular disease characterised by generalised weakness, hypotonia, laryngeal paralysis and muscle atrophy, particularly of the hind limbs. The age of onset of symptoms can vary between 1 and 11 years.

Progressive retinal atrophy is an inherited eye disease characterized by bilateral degeneration of the photoreceptor cells of the retina resulting in progressive vision loss leading to total blindness. Other mutations can cause progressive retinal atrophy. 

Footpad hyperkeratosis is a genetic disease causing a proliferation of epidermal cells. The symptoms of this pathology are thickening and hardening of the pads of all four paws. The first clinical signs usually appear during the first year of life.

Cerebellar ataxia (NCL-A) is a genetic defect characterised by the accumulation of lipofuscin in the nervous system resulting in balance disorders, ambulation and uncontrolled muscle contractions. This test is licensed from INRA / ENVA.

Alaskan Malamute Polyneuropathy (AMPN) is a genetic neuromuscular disorder. Symptoms may include exercise intolerance, muscle atrophy mainly in the hind legs, laryngeal paralysis resulting in a change in barking and noisy breathing. The first signs of the disease appear between the ages of 3 and 19 months.

The B (brown) locus refers to different mutations in the TYRP1 gene causing the brown coat colour. In the Australian Shepherd, a specific mutation (b4) has been identified in addition to the classic mutations (bs, bd, bc) in the Locus-B test.

The B (brown) locus refers to different mutations in the TYRP1 gene causing the brown coat colour. In the Lancashire Heeler, a specific mutation (be) has been identified in addition to the classic mutations (bs, bd, bc) in the Locus-B test.

Miniature schnauzer polyneuropathy is a genetic neuromuscular disorder. Symptoms may include exercise intolerance, muscle atrophy mainly in the hind legs, laryngeal paralysis resulting in a change in barking and noisy breathing. The first signs of the disease usually appear around 3 months of age.

Cleft lip with or without cleft palate is a genetic defect in craniofacial development causing communication between the mouth and nose. The most common symptoms are choking, coughing and difficulty swallowing. Syndactyly (fusion of fingers) may also be observed.

Progressive retinal atrophy is an inherited eye disease characterised by bilateral degeneration of the photoreceptor cells of the retina resulting in progressive vision loss leading to total blindness. Other mutations can cause progressive retinal atrophy. PRA1 accounts for more than 60% of diagnosed Golden Retrievers.
