Progressive Retinal Atrophy (Bengal) is a disease that leads to blindness in cats caused by to mutation in the KIF3B gene. Bengal progressive retinal atrophy is characterized by progressive blindness. The loss of vision begins around 7 weeks of age and slowly progresses until the cat has very compromised vision by approximately 2 years of 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 next working day (unless urgent).
Urgent Samples will be reported within 72 hours and will be charged double.
