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.

Juvenile laryngeal paralysis and polyneuropathy also known as polyneuropathy with ocular abnormalities and neuronal vacuolation (POANV) is a neurological defect seen in Black Russian Terriers and Rottweilers where the disease is known as neuronal vacuolation and neuronal vacuolation and spinocerebellar degeneration (NVSD). Signs of disease include early onset of laryngeal paralysis, microphthalmia (small eyes), cataract and muscle weakness. The disease is progressive and affected animals die or are euthanised

L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria is a genetic disease of the nervous system. The clinical signs are high levels of L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid in urine and plasma, seizures, wobbly gait, ataxia, tremors and muscle stiffness and usually appear from 6 months of age.
