Muscular Dystrophy (MD) – Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Muscular Dystrophy (MD) is an X-linked muscular disorder, equivalent to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in humans. The disorder is severe and ultimately fatal, and causes progressive degradation of the dog’s muscles. It is caused by an X-linked recessive mutation to the DMD gene.

The variant analysed in this test is found in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and is sometimes known as Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Muscular Dystrophy (CKCS-MD).

Macrothrombocytopenia (MTC) – Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Thrombocytopenia or macrothrombocytopenia (MTC) is a hereditary disorder characterized by a reduced number of blood platelets (thrombocytes), many of which are enlarged. Thrombocytes play an essential role in blood clotting (coagulation). Mutations in the ß1‑tubulin (TUBB1) gene have been identified as the cause of this reduction. Depending on the specific variant, symptoms may range from prolonged bleeding times to an apparently healthy animal.
The variant in this test occurs in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and is caused by a recessive mutation in TUBB1. This form is generally considered mild: affected dogs often show low platelet counts and enlarged platelets, but many remain clinically healthy without spontaneous bleeding problems.
A related mutation has been identified in the Norfolk Terrier and Cairn Terrier. This version is regarded as more severe, with affected dogs more likely to show clinical signs such as prolonged bleeding times, petechiae, or bruising.

MCAD Deficiency – Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) is an enzyme that helps the body process medium-chain fatty acids, forming a key part of an animal’s metabolism. A recessive mutation to the gene ACADM causes an MCAD deficiency (MCADD). This results in a build-up of medium-chain fatty acids, causing neurological symptoms such as fatigue and seizures. In dogs, MCAD Deficiency is found in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

CombiBreed Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

This Combination Pack is designed to provide you with vital insights into your dog’s genetic health, traits and diversity and includes DNA tests for numerous important diseases and/or traits. In addition, we also calculate the Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI) and the percentage of Heterozygosity of your dog’s DNA. The COI shows the degree of inbreeding of your dog, whereas the Heterozygosity percentage is a measure of your dog’s individual genetic diversity.

Information about individual tests in this package is available in the section ‘Included Tests’ on this page. We accept samples from animals of any age. Normally, the turnaround time of tests performed at our own facilities is 10 working days after receipt of the sample. For outsourced tests, so-called “External lab”, or “External Patent lab”, the turnaround time is at least 20 working days after receipt of your sample. Please note that the mentioned 20 working days is an estimate, as the shipping time to these external laboratories or patent facilities may vary due to unexpected delays.

Some tests included are performed by an external laboratory. CombiBreed takes care of the mediation between you as a customer and the external laboratory. In these cases, CombiBreed cannot be held liable for the behaviour of the client and/or contractor.

Roan

Roan is a white patterning coat colour trait of intermixed white and coloured hairs in the body while the head, lower legs, mane and tail remain colored. Roan horses are born with the pattern, though it may not be obvious until the foal coat is shed. The white and coloured hairs are evenly mixed in horses that inherit the classic Roan gene, which can differentiate this from several mimic patterns called roaning. Roaning patterns tend to be uneven in the distribution of white hairs and the inheritance of roaning has not been defined. The mutation causing the Roan coat colour has not yet been identified. The Coat Roan test (P659) tests for DNA markers that are associated with Roan coat colour in several breeds, the DNA markers can be used to determine if a horse has the Roan mutation and how many copies. This test detects three variants (alleles), Rn, Rn* and N. The allele Rn is dominant. One or two copies of the Rn allele result in a Roan coat colour. The allele Rn* is very uncommon and not always associated with the Roan coat colour, this allele has only been observed in Tennessee Walking horses and Rocky Mountain horses. The allele N is recessive and does not have an effect on the basic colour.

The Coat Colour Roan test encloses the following results, in this scheme the results of the Coat Colour Roan test are shown in combination with the possible results for the tests that determine the basic Coat Colour (Coat Colour Chestnut and Coat Colour Agouti test):

Dun dilution

The Dun dilution gene lightens the coat colour of the horse by lightening the body colour, leaving the head, lower legs, mane and tail undiluted. Dun is also typically characterized by “primitive markings”, allmost all dun horses possess at least the dorsal stripe, but the presence of the other primitive markings varies. Other common markings may include horizontal striping on the legs, transverse striping across the shoulders, and lighter guard hairs along the edges of a dark mane and tail. Dun diluted coat colour with primitive markings is considered the “wild-type” colour and is found in wild equids such as przewalski horses. Dun dilutes both red and black pigment, and the resulting colors range from apricot, golden, dark gray, olive and many more subtle variations. A horse can also carry mutations for other modifying genes which can further affect its coat colour. The Coat Colour Dun dilution test (P660) tests for the genetic status of the TBX3 gene. This gene has three variants (alleles); allele D is dominant over the alleles nd1 and nd2; allele nd1 is dominant over nd2. The dominant allele D results in Dun dilution with primitive markings. Allele nd1 does not dilute the coat colour of the horse, primitive markings are present but the expression is variable. Allele nd2 does not have an effect on the basic colour.

The Coat Colour Dun dilution test encloses the following results, in this scheme the results of the Coat Colour Dun dilution test are shown in combination with the possible results for the tests that determine the basic Coat Colour (Coat Colour Chestnut and Coat Colour Agouti test):

Primary Immunodeficiency Type 2 (PIPS2, CARMIL2-related) – CKCS

Primary Immunodeficiency Type 2, also known as PIPS2, is an immunodeficiency disorder in dogs often associated with the fungus Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP). For this reason, it is also referred to as Primary Immunodeficiency with Pneumocystis Susceptibility.

The disorder is caused by an autosomal recessive mutation in the CARMIL2 gene. Affected dogs are unable to produce a protein critical for proper immune function, making them highly susceptible to respiratory infections. This variant of the disorder is specifically found in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

Episodic Falling Disease – EFS (External Patent Lab)

Episodic Falling Syndrome (EFS), also called Episodic Hypertonicity, Hyperekplexia or Paroxysmal Exercise-Induced Dystonia, is a neurological disorder found in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The disease causes episodes of muscle stiffness that can temporarily immobilize affected dogs. It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene BCAN.

Episodic Falling Disease – EFS (External Lab)

Episodic Falling Syndrome (EFS), also called Episodic Hypertonicity, Hyperekplexia or Paroxysmal Exercise-Induced Dystonia, is a neurological disorder found in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The disease causes episodes of muscle stiffness that can temporarily immobilize affected dogs. It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene BCAN.

Myxomatous Valvular Degeneration (MMVD, 3 variants)

Myxomatous Valvular Degeneration (MMVD; also known as Mitral Valve Disease) is a common heart condition in older, small breed dogs (under 20kg). The exact cause is not fully understood, though an inherited or genetic component is suspected. Mutations in the NEBL gene (Nebulin-like proteins; nebulette gene) are potentially contributing and associated with the condition. This gene is involved in the structure and function of cardiac muscle cells and is therefore involved in muscle fiber stability.
In MMVD, the mitral valve weakens, causing improper closure and blood to flow backward into the atrium (regurgitation). This leads to heart failure over time. The disease occurs more often in males and breeds like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Dachshunds. Three mutations are tested in this package. Dogs carrying one or more risk alleles at these NEBL loci have been shown to be significantly more likely to develop MMVD and to develop it earlier in life (up to three years earlier in homozygous individuals).

Dry Eye Curly Coat Syndrome (CCS, DE-CC)

Congenital Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca and Ichthyosiform Dermatosis (CKCSID), colloquially known as ‘Dry Eye Curly Coat Syndrome’, is a disorder found in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. There are two elements to CKCSID: a severe form of dry eye (Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca, KCS), and a skin disorder. The disease is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene FAM83H.

Xanthinuria, type 2 – Spaniel variant

Xanthinuria is a metabolic disorder that causes an excess of xanthine in the urine, which leads to the formation of urinary stones and related complications. Type II xanthinuria is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene MOCOS. The variant of the disorder analysed in this test is found in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and English Cocker Spaniel. Related variants are also found in the Dachshund and Manchester Terrier.

Sabino 1

Sabino is a general description for a group of similar white spotting patterns. The sabino pattern is described as irregular spotting usually on the legs, belly and face, often with roaning around the edges of the white markings. A mutation has been discovered that produces one type of sabino pattern, it has been named Sabino1 as it is not present in all sabino-patterned horses. More mutations will probably exist that account for other sabino patterns. The Coat Colour Sabino 1 test (P785) tests for the genetic status of the KIT gene. This gene has two variants (alleles). The allele SB1 is semi-dominant. One copy of the SB1 allele results in horses with broken Sabino markings and possibly only a small amount of white. Two copies of the SB1 allele result in at least 90% white, also referred to as Sabino-white. The allele N is recessive and does not have an effect on the basic colour.

The Coat Colour Sabino 1 test encloses the following results, in this scheme the results of the Coat Colour Sabino 1 test are shown in combination with the possible results for the tests that determine the basic Coat Colour (Coat Colour Chestnut and Coat Colour Agouti test):

Dominant White 3

White patterning in horses is known as Dominant White or White. Dominant White patterns are variable, ranging from minimal Sabino-like spotting to all-white horses. The eye colour of Dominant White horses is brown. There are about 20 different mutations identified that are associated with white patterns, all mutations are found in the KIT gene. Except for W20, most of the known Dominant White mutations arose recently and are restricted to specific lines within breeds. The Coat Colour Dominant White 3 test (P592) tests for the mutation known as W20 in the KIT gene. This test detects two variants (alleles). The allele W20 is dominant. One or two copies of the W20 allele have a subtle effect on the amount of white expressed. It appears to increase the expression of white in combination with other white pattern genes. The allele N is recessive and does not have an effect on the basic colour.

The Coat Colour Dominant White 3 test encloses the following results, in this scheme the results of the Coat Colour Dominant White 3 test are shown in combination with the possible results for the tests that determine the basic Coat Colour (Coat Colour Chestnut and Coat Colour Agouti test):

Tobiano

The Tobiano coat pattern usually involves white on all four legs below the hocks and knees and rounded white spots on the body with sharp, clean edges. The head is dark, with white markings like those of a solid colored horse. The white on the body will generally cross the top-line of the horse. The skin underlying the white spots is pink and under the colored areas it is black. The eyes are usually brown, but one or both may be blue or partially blue. The tail can be two colors, a characteristic seldom seen in horses that are not tobiano. A horse can also carry mutations for other modifying genes which can further affect its coat colour.

The Coat Colour Tobiano test (P903) tests for a genetic factor that affects the function of the KIT gene. This gene has two variants (alleles). The dominant allele TO results in the Tobiano pattern and the recessive allele N does not have an effect on the basic colour.

The Coat Colour Tobiano test encloses the following results, in this scheme the results of the Coat Colour Tobiano test are shown in combination with the possible results for the tests that determine the basic Coat Colour (Coat Colour Chestnut and Coat Colour Agouti test):

Cream dilution

The cream dilution gene has an effect on both red and black pigment and dilutes the basic coat colour to lighter coat shades. In several breeds this is considered a desirable trait. The Cream dilution gene is responsible for the palomino, buckskin, smoky black, cremello, perlino and smoky cream coat colours. A horse can also carry mutations for other modifying genes which can further affect its coat colour. The Coat Colour Cream dilution test (P713) tests for the genetic status of the MATP gene. The MATP gene has two variants (alleles). The allele Cr is semi-dominant. One copy of the Cr allele dilutes the coat colour with a single dose, resulting in palomino, buckskin or smoky black. Two copies of the Cr allele dilute the coat colour with a double dose into cremello, perlino or smoky cream. The effect on black pigment might be very subtle. Horses with two copies of the Cr allele are also called “double-dilutes” or “blue-eyed cream” and they share a number of characteristics. The eyes are pale blue, paler than the unpigmented blue eyes associated with white color or white markings, and the skin is rosy-pink. The allele N is recessive and does not have an effect on the basic colour.

The Coat Colour Cream dilution test encloses the following results, in this scheme the results of the Coat Colour Cream dilution test are shown in combination with the possible results for the tests that determine the basic Coat Colour (Coat Colour Chestnut and Coat Colour Agouti test):

Champagne dilution

The Champagne dilution gene lightens the coat colour of the horse by diluting the pigment. The skin of Champagne-diluted horses is pinkish/lavender toned and becomes speckled with age; the speckling is particularly noticeable around the eye, muzzle, under the tail, udder and sheath. The eye colour is blue-green at birth and darkens to amber as the horse ages. Champagne has the following effects on the basic coat colours of horses:

Chestnut/Sorrel -> Gold champagne:   a gold body color and often a flaxen mane and tail. Gold champagne horses are visually similar to palomino horses.

Bay/Brown -> Amber champagne:       a tan body color with brown points (sometimes referred to as amber Buckskin).

Black -> Classic champagne:               a darker tan body with brown points.

A horse can also carry mutations for other modifying genes which can further affect its coat colour. The Coat Colour Champagne dilution test (P853) tests for the genetic status of the SLC36A1 gene. This gene has two variants (alleles). The dominant allele Ch results in the dilution and the recessive allele N does not have an effect on the basic colour.
