REQUEST FORM – GENETIC TEST: Ridge Disposition

General Terms of Genetic Test

• A genetic test is ordered by sending the filled request form with a sample taken from your dog to our address.
• The accuracy of the analysis is >99%.
• Results of the test are available usually within 10 working days, during July and August within 15 working days, because of the holiday season.
• The customer might be asked to repeat the test or to provide a blood sample if the buccal swab does not contain a sufficient amount of DNA for analysis.
• The test result is issued only to the customer, and only after payment has been made. The results are sent by email in pdf, also possible to send a certificate.
• If the genetic test for ridge disposition is performed then the genetic test determines the copy number of the ridge gene (0/1/2). The laboratory takes no responsibility for ridgeless puppies born in the litter if the test is used for mating purposes since we can not exclude hidden mutations/polymorphisms or incomplete penetrance of the ridge gene, which might lead to suppression of ridge formation.
• The DNA sample is archived for free in the laboratory. If you do not wish to archive the DNA sample, please, inform us.
