Gangliosidosis is a genetic defect that causes the storage of GM1 gangliosides in various tissues. The clinical signs of the disease are progressive neurological dysfunction and growth retardation

Golden Retriever muscular dystrophy is a homologue of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in humans. Affected dogs develop clinical signs at 8 to 10 weeks of age. Symptoms include a shuffling gait, inability to fully open the jaw, difficulty eating, curvature of the spine and ribs, resulting in a squatted posture. he disease is transmitted in an X-linked recessive manner, so males carrying the mutation will all be affected. However, only females with 2 copies of the mutated allele will be affected.

Haemophilia B, also known as factor IX deficiency, is a bleeding disorder. The clinical signs are haematomas and excessive bleeding due to the absence of functional coagulation factor IX.  he disease is transmitted in an X-linked recessive manner, so males carrying the mutation will all be affected. However, only females with 2 copies of the mutated allele will be affected.

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of blindness in dogs. This test highlights a mutation in the HSF4 gene that is considered a risk factor for the development of cataracts.

Ichthyosis type 2 is a skin condition caused by keratin dysfunction. The skin of affected dogs is dry, thick, scaly with large skin scales. 

In addition to the genetic test available for this form, a specific test is also available for ichthyosis type 1.

Imerslund-Gräsbeck syndrome is characterised by malabsorption of vitamin B12 (cobalamin). The first symptoms appear around 6 to 12 weeks. The clinical signs are due to the lack of cobalamin which causes megaloblastic anaemia and neurological symptoms.

Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a recessive genetic disease of the skin and mucous membranes in which the epidermal layer is separated from the skin.
