Canine DNA Screen

Advanced Genomics Testing for your Dog’s Health

Profile. Diagnose. Manage.

Use genomic testing to profile, identify, diagnose, manage, and prevent genetic disorders in dogs

Harness rapid advances in genomics

For diagnosis, management and prevention of genetic diseases in canines

Around 400 hereditary diseases known in canines are caused by mutations in 19,000 genes spread across 78 chromosomes. Until now, lab tests are ordered only after symptoms are observed, for a given suspected disease. This leaves little scope for prevention or management as the disease is already set in. Today, genomics allows us to identify hundreds of diseases in advance, at a time, in a single lab test. This makes it possible to profile the pets in advance, take preventive measures, and provide better care for the pet.

How does Genetic Testing help you?

> Accurate diagnosis

Identify most commonly prevalent genetic diseases associated with the pet and understand future risks

> Disease management

Profiling for diseases in advance gives more time for management of diseases before they set in

> Trait information

Genetic markers help you identify traits of the breed such as coat color, type, hair length and tail

> Personalized Pet Care

Design your pet diet, environment and care based on specific risks identified in the test

> Better breeding

Identifies carrier status for diseases, allows choice of right parents to reduce disease risk in pups

Canine Genomics at GeneTech

> Canine DNA Screen – what does it offer?

GeneTech’s Canine DNA Screen genetic panel is based on Thermofisher’s Canine Disorders and Traits Panel which was developed based on extensive research in Canine Genomics and Veterinary Science. It offers screening for all diseases recommended by ISAG (International Society for Animal Genetics) and more.

The panel identifies gene variants that are associated with 136 common inherited conditions in different dog breeds. It also provides information on 18 different breed traits like coat color, coat type, hair type, hair length, tail length, and so on.

Disease and trait information is crucial for modern dog breeding programs. As carrier status is also reported, breeders can use the test to choose the right parents without any carrier risks for breeding.

> What is the turn around time for the report?

The report will be delivered in 2-3 weeks

> What sample should be sent for testing?

2ml blood in EDTA vacutainer – OR – Swab collected using GeneTech supplied swab kit.
