General Information
Dominant Blue Eyes (DBE) in cats are typically associated with a lack of melanin in the iris. It is often due to genetics and is commonly seen in certain breeds. One of the genes involved in this trait is the Paired Box 3 (PAX3) gene. Mutations in the gene can result in white spotting, deafness, pigmentary disturbances in one or two eyes and in some cases also embryonic or fetal lethality.
There are multiple known mutations. In this test, 3 variants are analysed. The Information about individual tests is available in the section ‘Included Tests’ on this page.
Please be aware that test K505 DBE for Celestial Maine Coons is (temporarily) no part of this package due to potential false-positive results that we are currently resolving with the author of the publication.
