Tests included in the panel:

  • Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA-cord1/rcd4) DNA TestPRA-cord1/rcd4RPGRIP1

    Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) is a group of eye disorders which cause progressive degeneration of the retina through thinning and decreased blood flow. Depending on the variant the rod (dim light) or cone (bright light) photoreceptor cells of the eye may also be affected and age of onset and speed of progression can vary. Affected dogs typically have initial vision loss in low light, then peripheral vision loss, and eventually total blindness.

    Inheritance: autosomal recessive

  • Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIA (MPSIIIA) DNA TestMPSIIIASGSH

    Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA (MPSIIIA) is an inherited disorder affecting Wire-Haired Dachshunds and New Zealand Huntaway dogs. It causes certain substances to build up inside cells, which can lead to progressive damage. Affected dogs may have poor growth, joint problems, lameness and vision problems caused by clouding of the cornea. MPSIIIA is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition caused by a mutation in the SGSH gene.

    Please note this is the Dachshund variant and not applicable to breeds affected by the other disease-causing variant.

  • Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 1 (NCL1) DNA TestNCL1PPT1

    Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 1 (NCL1), also known as Batten disease, is an inherited neurological disorder affecting Standard Dachshunds and is caused by a variant in the PPT1 gene. Affected dogs develop progressive neurological problems, including vision loss, behavioural changes, tremors, poor coordination, weakness and seizures, and the disease is ultimately fatal. NCL1 is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition.

  • Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 2 (NCL2) DNA TestNCL2TPP1

    Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 2 (NCL2), also known as Batten disease, is an inherited neurological disorder affecting Miniature Long-Haired Dachshunds and is caused by a variant in the TPP1 gene. Affected dogs develop progressive neurological problems, including vision loss, behavioural changes, tremors, poor coordination, weakness and seizures, and the disease is ultimately fatal. NCL2 is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition.

  • Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) DNA TestOISERPINH1

    Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease, is an inherited disorder affecting Dachshunds and is caused by a variant in the SERPINH1 gene, which is important for normal collagen formation. Affected dogs have fragile bones that can fracture easily and may develop bone deformities, joint problems, pain and brittle teeth. OI is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition.

    Please note this is the Dachshund variant and not applicable to breeds affected by the other disease-causing variant.

The Miniature Long Haired Dachshund DNA Health Panel screens for inherited disorders relevant to the breed, combining them into a single test at one price. One cheek swab covers all tests.

How long does it take?

We aim to turnaround dog health testing within 2 weeks from the day the sample arrives at our laboratory. Note that our turnaround times are a guideline, not a guarantee, so plan your breeding accordingly.
If you'd like to see what the turnaround time was on our most recent 1000 samples then visit: https://www.petgeneticslab.co.uk/pages/pet-genetics-lab-turnaround-times

What happens when I place my order?

Once we have received your testing order we send you a barcoded swabbing kit to collect DNA from your dog's cheek. If you order before 1pm on a week day it will be shipped the same day. Orders received after 1pm will be shipped the next business day, and orders received over the weekend are shipped on Monday.

Your kit comes with full instructions for collecting a good quality DNA sample. The barcoded swab is linked directly to your order so please try not to get swabs from multiple orders mixed up, otherwise it might delay your results.

You will need to register your swab on our online portal, to provide the details of your dog. 

As soon as your sample arrives back at the laboratory and its barcode is scanned into our laboratory system by our specimen reception team you will be notified by email.

Refunds and cancellations

If you would like to cancel your testing order, you are free to do this until the point the sample arrives back at our laboratory. If you cancel before this point then we will issue a refund, minus the cost of the swabbing kit we sent you (or a full refund if you cancel before we send the kit out). 

You cannot cancel or change your testing order once the sample has arrived back at the laboratory and the testing service is in progress. 

Refund of testing after the service has been completed is only considered after our dispute policy has been completed. 

Please see our terms and conditions for full details. 

OUR PANELS

The tests in our DNA health testing panels are selected based on the scientific evidence available for disorders in the breed. Our scientists stay up to date with the latest developments and discoveries in the field to ensure that our testing panels are as up-to-date as possible.

DID YOU KNOW?

Our ISO-accredited testing services are relied upon by UK police forces for assessing the suitability of canine recruits for police duties.

Clear (N/N): no copies; not expected to develop PRA-cord1/crd4, nor pass it on.

Carrier (N/PRA): one copy. Healthy, but can pass it on. Breeding two carriers risks affected puppies.

Affected (PRA/PRA): two copies; expected to develop PRA-cord1/crd4. Discuss with your vet.
