«Identification of genes that contribute to Alzheimer's risk and that influence the progression of disease will help lead us to the cause of the disease, identify proteins and other new targets for drug development, and provide genetic methods for determining which people are at greatest risk for Alzheimer's disease when preventative measures become available,» said Dr. Schellenberg.

The efficiency of the method hinges on the degree of sequence divergence among species and species - level identifications are relatively straightforward when the average genetic distance among individuals within a species does not exceed the average genetic distance between sister species.

International Cat Care believe that whenever genetic tests are run on cats for the selection of breeding stock, the gene test result should be linked to a method of permanently identifying the cat that has been tested (eg, a standard, internationally recognised microchip number), and that a vet should collect the sample (blood sample or cheek swab) so that the identification (microchip number) can be verified and recorded on the submission form and result.
