We are taking a break from April 13-19. We will be back the following week.

Cerebellar abiotrophy marker (NUP153) (CA NUP153)

Summary

Cerebellar abiotrophy (CA) has been reported in working Kelpies. Dogs affected by CA can show head or neck tremors, problems with their balance, exaggerated or erratic leg movement and problems eating or drinking from a bowl.

This test (CA: NUP153) is associated with a form of CA found in a litter of working Kelpies in Germany. In this litter pups showed signs of CA at approximately four weeks of age.

Results for this test are del del (possibly affected), del n (carrier) or n n. Dogs with a del n result do not have a high risk of CA but can potentially produce del del pups.

This test has been removed from the working dog CA panel because it may not predictive of CA for dogs outside the original affected family.

Tests can be in the list more than once when the gene in question has more than one effect. It is OK to select the same test once or more than once, the price is the same.
