Exciting News from Orivet: 25 New Tests Added to Our Comprehensive Breed Profiles!

Orivet is leading the way with genetic testing solutions for dogs, we’re excited to announce the launch of 25 more new tests for diseases and traits. These tests are meticulously designed to offer essential insights into the health and heritage of various dog breeds, providing breeders with invaluable information to make informed breeding decisions.

The newly introduced disease tests cover a wide range of genetic conditions, including:

🦠 Variant 2 Congenital Deafness (Australian Cattle & Stumpy Cattle Dog):

This test identifies genetic factors associated with congenital deafness in Australian Cattle and Stumpy Cattle Dog breeds, allowing for early intervention and management.

🦠 Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (Italian Greyhound Type):

Tailored for Italian Greyhounds, this test screens for genetic mutations linked to muscular dystrophy, aiding in early diagnosis and potential treatment options.

🦠 Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (Staffordshire Terrier Type):

This test targets Staffordshire Terriers, detecting genetic variants associated with muscular dystrophy to facilitate proactive health management.

🦠 Congenital Stationary Night Blindness (Beagle Type):

This test detects genetic markers associated with night blindness, enabling breeders to make informed breeding decisions and prevent the spread of this condition.

🦠 Dandy Walker Like Malformation (Eurasier Breed Type):

Targeting Eurasier breeds, this test identifies genetic variants linked to Dandy Walker Like Malformation, providing breeders with valuable information for breeding programs and potential health management strategies.

🦠 Degenerative Myelopathy Early-Onset Risk Modifier (Pembroke Welsh Corgi Type):

This test assesses genetic predispositions to early-onset degenerative myelopathy, empowering breeders with knowledge to prevent and manage this debilitating condition.

🦠 Exfoliative Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (ECLE) (Pointer & Vizsla Type):

This test detects genetic markers associated with ECLE in Pointers and Vizslas, offering breeders insights to mitigate risks and ensure the health of future generations.

🦠 Gastrointestinal Polyposis (Jack Russell Terrier Type):

Tailored for Jack Russell Terriers, this test identifies genetic variants associated with gastrointestinal polyposis, aiding breeders in making informed breeding decisions and minimising the prevalence of this condition.

🦠 Globoid Cell Leukodystrophy (Irish Setter Type):

This test screens for genetic mutations linked to globoid cell leukodystrophy in Irish Setters, enabling breeders to avoid breeding affected individuals and reduce the incidence of this disorder.

🦠 Haemophilia A and B (Rhodesian Ridgeback Type):

These tests screen for genetic mutations linked to haemophilia A and B in Rhodesian Ridgebacks, allowing breeders to avoid breeding affected individuals and reduce the incidence of these bleeding disorders.

🦠 Intestinal Cobalamin Malabsorption (Giant Schnauzer Type):

This test detects genetic variants associated with intestinal cobalamin malabsorption in Giant Schnauzers, providing breeders with valuable information to prevent the transmission of this metabolic disorder.

🦠 L-2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Type) - Variant 2:

Tailored exclusively for Staffordshire Bull Terriers, this test pinpoints variant 2 of L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, providing breeders with invaluable insights to mitigate the transmission of this metabolic disorder within the breed.

🦠 L-2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria (Yorkshire Terrier Type):

This test screens for genetic mutations associated with L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria in Yorkshire Terriers, enabling breeders to avoid breeding affected individuals and reduce the incidence of this disorder.

🦠 Paroxysmal Exercise-Induced Dyskinesia (PED) (Shetland Sheepdog Type):

Tailored for Shetland Sheepdogs, this test identifies genetic markers associated with PED, offering breeders insights to minimise the risk of this condition in their breeding programs.

🦠 Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Early Onset and PRA3 (Tibetan Terrier and Spaniel Type):

These tests detect genetic mutations linked to early-onset progressive retinal atrophy in Tibetan Terriers and Spaniels, enabling breeders to make informed decisions to preserve vision in future generations.

🦠 Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease and Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease, X-Linked (Terrier, Basset Hound, and Corgi Types):

These tests screen for genetic variants associated with severe combined immunodeficiency disease in various terrier breeds, Basset Hounds, and Corgis, empowering breeders with knowledge to prevent the transmission of this immunodeficiency disorder.

🦠 Startle Disease (Spanish Greyhound Type):

This test identifies genetic markers associated with startle disease, providing breeders with insights to minimise the risk of this neurological condition in their breeding programs.

Gain deeper insights into the characteristics that define your breeds, with our new tests for Traits:

Behaviour Propensity (Belgian Shepherd Type):

This test explores the behavioral tendencies specific to Belgian Shepherds, providing breeders with valuable insights into temperament and personality traits.

Roan SNP Locus/Ticking:

Uncover the genetic basis of roan coat patterns and ticking in various breeds, shedding light on the distinctive markings that make each dog unique.

E Locus (Ancient Red) - eA (Spitz and Scent Hound Type):

Explore the genetic variants responsible for the ancient red coat colour in Spitz and Scent Hound breeds, adding depth to breed standards and identification.

Eh Locus (Sable, Cocker Spaniel Type):

Dive into the genetic underpinnings of sable coat colouration in Cocker Spaniels and other breeds, enhancing understanding of coat genetics and breeding practices.

These new tests are included in our Full Breed Profiles for all new samples. Additionally, they can be purchased for older samples dating from 2021 onwards. Discover how these genetic insights can revolutionise your breeding strategy.
