gPRA

As you are aware, the causative mutation for gPRA in Schapendoes dogs has been found. A direct mutation test has been established, which analyses the mutation directly in the gene which is homozygous in affected Schapendoes dogs.

Since October 1st 2008 the Ruhr-Universität-Bochum in Germany offers the direct gene diagnostics for gPRA. The diagnostic certainty is virtually 100%. For breeding purposes heterozygous individuals (carriers) can be distinguished reliably from normal (homozygous) genotypes and from affected animals (homozygous mutant).
