Polycystic Kidney Disease is caused by a mutation in the polycystic kidney disease 1 (PKD1) gene. The disease is lethal in cats due to renal failure. Early onset, bilateral presentation (both kidneys), and multiple cysts are all traits of PKD1. The kidney cysts present early, often before 12 months of age. Renal failure, however, usually occurs at a later age.
Method
Sanger Sequencing
Sample Type
EDTA Blood (>=3mL)
Transport Condition
The sample should be transported at 4°C. (Refer to MBG-C0014)
Turn Around Time (TAT)
The Turnaround (TAT) for routine samples is within 5 working days.
Samples delivered after 11:00 AM will be processed the next working day (unless urgent).
Urgent Samples will be reported within 72 hours and will be charged double.
