Frequently Asked Questions
The Polycystic Kidney Disease PKD DNA Test is a fast and effective way of determining whether or not your cat has the mutated gene known to cause PKD or is likely to pass it on to any offspring.
The gene test for PKD involves screening of DNA isolated from blood or saliva sample of a cat for those gene mutations that cause ADPKD. The genetic testing may take many days or weeks to complete.
Only one parent needs to have the disease for it to pass to the kittens. If one parent has ADPKD, each kitten has a 50% chance of getting the disease. This form accounts for most of the cases of polycystic kidney disease.
Currently, there is no clinically validated, commercially available method for determining a pet’s age using genetics.
