hyperuricosuria in Bulldogs and Black Russian Terriers.
Not exact matches
Dogs with mutations
in both copies of the SLC2A9 gene are predisposed to have elevated levels of uric acid
in the urine, hence the name
hyperuricosuria.
DNA from these dogs was submitted mainly for coat color or
hyperuricosuria mutation testing and used
in breeding programs.
HUU test A DNA test for the
hyperuricosuria mutation is now available and may be used by breeders to decrease the mutant allele frequency
in breeds that carry the mutation.
