What Our Screening Panel Covers

Every cat above lists the same panel, and the codes are worth understanding before you compare any two catteries.

HCM is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the heart condition the breed is best known for. n/n means the cat carries no copy of the tested mutation. SMA is spinal muscular atrophy, which affects the muscles of the hind legs. PKD is polycystic kidney disease and PKDef is pyruvate kinase deficiency, an inherited anaemia. FeLV and FIV are feline leukaemia and feline immunodeficiency virus, tested by blood rather than by DNA.

A DNA result applies for life and does not need repeating. FeLV and FIV are a point in time and are retested as part of ongoing veterinary care. Ask any breeder to show you the certificates themselves rather than a summary, ours included.
