This pack includes the recommended tests defined by the Flemish breeding program for l'Australian Mist: l'hypokaliémie (CAT-HK), Pyruvate kinase deficiency (CAT-PKDEF), Gangliosidosis type 2 (CAT-GM2-BUR) and Progressive retinal atrophy (CAT-PRA-RDAC).

In domestic cats, the common blood groups are A and B; a third rare blood group, AB, is also known. This terminology is confusing because type AB is not the result of the presence of both blood groups A and B. A genetic mutation associated with blood group B in most cats has been identified. Genetic testing therefore makes it possible to determine whether a cat is bb (blood group B), Ab (carrier of the b allele with blood group A or AB), or AA (blood type A or AB). This test is particularly important in cats because of neonatal isoerythrolysis. Indeed, the colostrum of a mother with blood group B can kill a kitten if it belongs to blood group A or AB.

This test analyzes mutations specific to the Neva Masquerade breed and is not valid for other breeds.

In domestic cats, the most common blood groups are A and B, while a third rare blood group, AB, is also recognized. This terminology can be confusing because type AB is not the result of a combination of groups A and B.

In Ragdoll cats, three genetic mutations allow determination of the blood group as well as the cat’s status regarding the b allele. This test is particularly important due to the risk of neonatal isoerythrolysis: the colostrum of a mother with blood group B can be fatal to a kitten with blood group A or AB.

This test analyzes mutations specific to the Ragdoll breed and is not applicable to other breeds.
