Xanthinuria is a metabolic disorder that causes an excess of xanthine in the urine, which leads to the formation of urinary stones and related complications. Type II xanthinuria is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene MOCOS. The variant of the disorder analysed in this test is found in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and English Cocker Spaniel. Related variants are also found in the Dachshund and Manchester Terrier.
