Cystinuria (Bulldog risk markers)

Summary

Cystinuria is a condition affecting dogs that can lead to stones that block the urinary tract, causing pain, difficulty urinating, and even kidney problems. This happens because there is too much cystine (a type of amino acid) in their urine. Excess cystine can crystallise in the urine and form stones.

Genetic testing for cystinuria in Bulldogs can help you understand your dog's risk for developing this condition. This test looks for two specific genetic markers linked to the disease: mutant forms of the SLC3A1 and SLC7A9 genes.

These genetic markers are like signposts on a genetic map. They don't directly cause the disease, but their presence may indicate an increased risk. This information can be helpful for breeding choices or early detection of cystinuria in Bulldogs.
