Genetic Diseases

Severity:

Moderate. This disease can cause significant signs of discomfort and/or dysfunction in affected animals. It may involve relatively high treatment/management costs, and can sometimes reduce life expectancy.

Gene:

von Willebrand factor (vWF) on Chromosome 27

Variant Detected:

Base Substitution c.4937A>G p.Asn883Ser

Mode of Inheritance:

Recomended Screening:

1. DNA testing of all breeding animals performed prior to breeding – e.g. at 1 year of age. 2. Recommend DNA testing prior to any surgery (e.g. desexing). Can perform DNA test on puppies (e.g. at 8-12 weeks). 3. Alternatively recommend coagulation testing with BMBT (not PT/APTT) prior to desexing or routine surgery (As DNA test available for a few breeds only)
