General information
This product includes maternity verification and DNA profiling of the offspring. If the DNA profile of the (expected) mother is unavailable, a separate DNA profile needs to be ordered.
A DNA profile is established using DNA markers. The profile from each sample is stored in a database and can be represented as a barcode, which is unique to each individual. This DNA profile serves the purpose of parentage verification, involving a comparison of the genetic information present in an offspring with that of the potential parents. For accurate parentage verification, all genetic information in the offspring must be traceable to the combination of the dam and the sire. In the majority of cases, the reliability of this analysis exceeds 99.5 percent.
If the DNA profile of the parent(s) is performed in a laboratory other than VHL / CTG / VHP, it can occur the profile of the offspring can’t be compared with the profiles of the parents. The reason can be the testing of other hereditary characteristics at the other laboratory.
Clinical features
Additional information
This test is in accordance with the specifications of the Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA). The test is performed by Certagen and the results are accepted by ASCA. The markers tested are not identical to those recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG). Please order this test if you want to register your dog within the ASCA.
Please note:
The STR marker set previously used by ASCA and Certagen has been replaced by a different technology (SNP markers). Both technologies are not comparable to each other. If you have any questions about the changes and the implications for parentage verification, please contact ASCA. By ordering the test you agree that the data and genotypes are transmitted to ASCA. Please be aware of that the ASCA requests the following information in order to send out a certificate: Name of the dog and ASCA registration number (if already available), names and ASCA registration number of the parents and owner name of the offspring. If you like to perform a parentage analysis for your puppies please ensure that you have ordered a SNP profile of both parents before.
