Table of All Test

Over the past two decades the Section of Medical Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania discovered and characterized many hereditary disorders in dogs and cats from the clinical features to the molecular genetic defect. Thereby, the mode of inheritance was determined and hematological, biochemical and genetic tests were developed to identify affected and carrier animals. The Genetic Disease Testing Laboratory, dedicated to Dr. Josephine Deubler was established to offer these genetics tests to veterinarians, breeders, and pet owners to assist them in their effort to breed animals free of hereditary diseases that were known to occur in their breed. We have already performed over 1500 DNA screening tests. more...
