Canine Coat and Nose Color Testing

C128-Canine Coat and Nose Color Test
Japanese Chin

DNA TEST

Japanese Chin occur in several colors: black and white, tricolor, sable and white, red/yellow and white, lemon and white, and in some countries brown and white. Several genes and the interaction thereof contribute to these colors. Since all Chin have white markings, their other color will be discussed in the text and table below, without always mentioning and white .
The gene that controls the black (or brown) coat color of Japanese Chin is K and the allele responsible is K^B. Chin that are either tricolor or sable do not have a K^B, but are k^y/k^y. Red/yellow, or its paler cousin yellow, could be any genotype at the K locus since they are e/e and this masks the effects of K. The gene causing the difference in shade in red/yellow and yellow Chin is not yet known.
Tricolor Japanese Chin are at/at at the agouti locus and sable Chin have at least one a^y allele. Japanese Chin in most countries are not brown. If pertinent, they could be tested for the b alleles at additional charge of $20.00.

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.
