Test Performed: prcd Mutation Test for PRA

Sample Type: DNA - Blood

Test Results: Genotype of your dog is Normal/Clear.

Risk for developing prcd-PRA: This dog will never develop the prcd form of PRA (progressive rod-cone degeneration form of Progressive Retinal Atrophy).

Significance for breeding: Genetically Normal/Clear dogs can be bred to any dog and will produce no pups affected with the prcd form of PRA.

This interpretation is based on the test result of the DNA test for the specific mutation identified as causing the prcd form of PRA in Norwegian Elkhounds as of the date on this report.
