Canine Coat and Nose Color Testing

C128-Canine Coat and Nose Color Test
Chinese Shar-Pei

DNA TEST

Although DNA tests are not yet available to distinguish the full range of colors in Chinese Shar-Pei, some tests are available at this time. All three E alleles occur in Shar-Pei: E^M, E, and e. All cream and apricot dogs are e/e Shar-Pei traditionally called red have an E allele. Both red and fawn dogs are reddish because of the presence of an a^y allele. Please note that cream cannot be distinguished from apricot at this time. Chocolate occurs in Shar-Pei in full depth, called chocolate and pale called lilac. This is due to a b/b genotype at the B locus. DNA test results will also report the genotype at the B locus. Fawn dogs may also have a brown mask because of b/b. Note that "brown" as a coat color in Shar-Pei is a mixture of black and reddish hairs and the gene causing this is not yet known. There are two A alleles at the agouti locus in Shar-Pei (ay and aw), although most Shar-Pei are a^y/a^y. Dogs which are aw/aw are called "patterned sable". There is also the rare occurrence of at in Shar-Pei. DNA testing is available for the presence of the a^y allele in Shar-Pei. Since we cannot distinguish between a^w and a^t a^t this time, a^x will be used to designate the presence of either one of these alleles. Dilute is used in Shar-Pei to mean the lack of black nose and pad pigment. This could be due to b/b or d/d or an unknown gene that causes the nose to be pink. There are two alleles at the K locus in Shar-Pei. A single K^B causes the dog to be black, chocolate or blue, depending on alleles at other genes. Therefore black, chocolate, and blue dogs could be either K^B/K^B or K^B/k^y. A DNA test to determine this is available for $65.00. All dogs that are fawn, patterned sable or "with tan points" are k^y/k^y. "Flowered" in Shar-Pei is the term used to denote white spotting. "Flowered" is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait in this breed. A DNA test to detect carriers of "flowered" or the s^p allele is available for an extra cost of $20 if any other color allele is tested or $65 if tested alone.

PRICING

Any single tested allele - $55.00*
Each additional allele - $20.00*
*subject to HST for Canadian residents only.

Note: Mask gene (E^m) is considered as an individual test, separate from other alleles in E locus.

To help you to calculate the proper amount, please review the following example:
Testing for 3 alleles - E, B, and D - should be calculated as $55 + $20 + $20 = $95.00.
The price will be automaticaly calculated during the process of ordering a sample collection kit.

SAMPLES

The following sample(s) can be submitted for the testing:
1. Blood sample in a lavender top tube.
2. Cheek swabs. Sample collection kit online: Order a Sample Collection Kit

TEST RESULTS

Test results are usually available in 10 Business Days from the moment the samples arrive at the laboratory. Test results can be reported by e-mail, fax, or by phone.

CERTIFICATE OF RESULT

HealthGene will provide a certificate for each test result.
