MIM - 6 Variant is the new name for the test that was previously offered as the PSSM2 test. The adaptation reflects the current findings in the field of exertional myopathies. The tests comprises the 6 gene variants (P2, P3, P4, P8, Px,K1) that are important genetic predispositions for the development of MIM (Muscle Integrity Myopathy), a specific form of exertional...

Please note the following information when ordering: - Please do not order a separate sample collection set, instead please follow our instructions for hair sample collection: ( link ). - Send the sample to: Generatio GmbH - Center for Animal...

MIM-3 Variant (P3, P8, K1). This panel is available only to Icelandic horses. The panel tests the only three MIM ("PSSM2) variants known to occur in Icelandic Horses.

ACAN-dwarfism is found in Shetland ponies and miniature horses, in which abnormal cartilage growth leading to skeletal problems and dwarfism. Four different disease-causing variants of the ACAN gene are known so far: d1, d2, d3* and d4. The inheritance is autosomal recessive.

Cerebellar Abiotrophy is an autosomal recessive disease where affected animals develop ataxia due to the progressive death of brain cells responsible for movement. It is found in Arabians and related breeds.

Congenital Myotonia leads to impaired movement due to muscle rigidity. It is autosomal recessive and is found in New Forest ponies and other ponies with the stallion "Kantje's Ronaldo" in the pedigree.

Foal Immunodeficiency Syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder found in Fell and Dales ponies. The nonfunctional immune system causes anemia and early death in foals.

Frame Overo is a white spotting pattern most common in Quarter Horses, Paint Horses, and specific American Saddlebred and Throroughbred and Warmblood lines. Frame has a great phenotypic variablity; horses with the frame mutation may show the “typical” pattern, or no white at all. For this reason, all horses that may carry frame should be tested before breeding, even if they...

This test detects the mutation in the B4GALT7 gene that causes dwarfism in the Friesian horse. The inheritance is autosomal recessive.

This test detects the c.102C>A mutation in GBE1 that causes Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency in Quarter Horses and related breeds. The inheritance is autosomal recessive so only animals with two defective copies (gbed/gbed) will be affected

The test detects the mutation in the STX17 gene (a 4.6 kb intronic duplication) which is causative for the Grey coat color. It is also a risk factor for melanoma. The inheritance is autosomal dominant. Horses with one or two copies of the genetic variant (n/G or G/G) will grey with time. This test detects if a horse has one or two copies of the Grey mutation.

This test detects the c.115G>A mutation in the PPIB gene which causes Hereditary Equine Regional Dermal Asthenia (HERDA) in Quarter Horses and related breeds. The inheritance is autosomal recessive so only animals with two defective copies (herda/herda) are affected.
