Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC)***

PLEASE NOTE: the mandatory material is a min. of 2 ml EDTA-blood
Application of the test:
- Identification of heterozygous, healthy carriers for breeding selection.
- Differential diagnosis of weakness of the backhand
The test determines whether the mutation in the DNM1 gene is present, which has been described as a risk factor for the occurrence of 'Exercise Induced Collapse', EIC.
The inheritance is autosomal recessive, so that both DNM1 genes must have the mutation for EIC to occur. Characteristic is a weakening of the hind legs after 5-20 minutes of intensive exercise.
*** = the test is carried out in a partner laboratory
