Combined test for the two genes (Agouti, Extension) that determine the basic coat colours (chestnut, bay, black). Application: - accurate coat colour documentation - clarification of genetic status for breeding purposes. Please also note the test bundles for determining dilution factors, for dominant white, and for spotting patterns.

The Agouti gene (A) is involved with the production of both red (pheomelanin) and black (eumelanin) pigments. It regulates the relative amounts of each pigment produced in melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) in different regions of the horse’s body. A functional version (AA or Ae) results in a horse that has a base color of bay with black mane, tail, legs and ear tips. Two...

Turner syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality in mares.
The missing X chromosome leads to an incomplete internal reproductive tract with a normal exterior phenotype.
Application of the test:
- Differential diagnosis of infertility, inactive ovaries and underdeveloped fallopian tubes
- Ensuring normal X-chromosomal constitution in mares that are not jet sexually...

Horses with two copies of the MC1R variant (ee) are chestnut (red, sorrel) in color. Horses with only one copy of this variant (Ee) are bay or black-based (depending upon their variants at the Agouti locus), but carry chestnut. A horse that does not carry the variant (EE) cannot have a chestnut foal, even if bred to a chestnut horse.

Malignant Hyperthermia is an autosomal dominant mutation where fever, muscle rigidity and respiratory distress and even death can be triggered by specific anaesthetics or other stress/exercise. It also worsens the symptoms of horses with PSSM1 and 2.

The KIT Noriker roan allele has been found in Noriker, Lipizzan, Quarter Horse, Murgese and some draft breeds. It is not the classical roan mutation found in most roan quarter horses, but it has not yet been tested in a wide variety of breeds.

Application:
- Identification of carriers in breeding selection
- Differential diagnosis in clinical cases of Exertional Myopathy.
PSSM1 is a form of Exertional Myopathy in which a disorder of the sugar metabolism of the muscles causes muscle damage.
The test detects the mutation (c.926G>A) in the GYS1 gene which causes PSSM1. The inheritance is incomplete autosomal...

WFFS is a connective tissue disorder leading to the spontaneous abortion of the fetus or death/humane euthanasia of the foal. The disease is autosomal recessive and the mutation has been found in many breeds including: Warmbloods and related breeds, Riding ponies,Thoroughbreds, Haflingers, Quarter Horses, Paint Horses, and Appaloosas.
*** = the test is carried out in a...

The White Spotting W20 variant is found in many breeds. By itself it has very little influence on white patterning; instead, W20 acts as a “booster”: in combination with other “W” mutations, it can greatly increase the amount of white on a horse. It can also boost the amount of white in non-“W” patterns: (eg. Sabino-1, Tobiano, occasionally Frame Overo (when 2 copies are...

The test determines the genome-based values for individual inbreeding and diversity values. Applications: - Clarification of an individual's inbreeding status in cases of unspecified general health issues. - Development of a genome-based mating planning scheme for the preservation or improvement of genetic diversity in a breeding population. Generatio determines all 3...

You will receive a detailed analysis of which horse breeds and horse breed groups are represented in your animal's genetic heritage – and which individual breeds it is most genetically similar to. Application: - Assistance in determining the origin of mixed-breed horses - Breed composition for horse breeds with open studbooks - Determination of the exact thoroughbred...

The package includes all tests used to determine the genomic background of a horse: 1. Breed analysis to identify the contribution of individual breeds 2. Inbreeding assessment to detect related matings 3. Genetic identity for reliable verification of origin and ownership. Please note: The package does not include tests for individual hereditary diseases or traits.
