Abstract

Several hundred genetic mutations have now been associated with development of clinical diseases in dogs and cats. Many diagnostic testing laboratories now offer genetic tests and samples may be easily submitted. However, interpretation of the results and how it may impact an individual animal or a breeding program can be quite complicated. Regardless, with their veterinary medical knowledge, the veterinarian has a critical role in interpreting genetic results.
