DNA testing for PRA

PRA in Abyssinian and Somali cats has recently been shown to be related to a mutation on the RdAc-gene and a DNA test is available. The DNA-test is performed by two laboratories: Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at UC Davis, in the US or Laboklin in Germany.

Blood or mucosal cells from the oral cavity ("swab test") could be used for the test. More information on test procedures, payment and prices etc are to be found at the websites of the institutes:
