CLEAR: No copies of the disease-causing mutation were detected
CARRIER: One copy of the disease-causing mutation was detected. The animal can pass on the disease-causing mutation to their offspring but is not considered at risk for the disease. This term is only used for autosomal recessive disorders.
AT RISK:
- Autosomal recessive conditions: Two copies of the disease-causing mutation were detected. The animal is at risk of developing the disorder.
- Autosomal dominant conditions: Either one or two copies of the disease-causing mutation were detected. The animal is at risk of developing the disorder. The number of copies will be listed on your test certificate.
