Abstract excerpt
Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (AD-PKD) is the most prevalent inherited genetic disease of cats, particularly affecting Persians. Until recently the condition has been diagnosed by renal ultrasound screening. With the identification of the genetic mutation responsible for AD-PKD it is now possible to use advanced molecular techniques to screen for the disease. We have developed a rapid, sensitive...
