Feline PKD DNA Testing Update

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 2, 2005 -- PKD is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the formation of cysts on the kidneys which could lead to eventual renal failure and possible death.

Anyone can collect feline DNA samples using a buccal (cheek) swab and testing can be performed on cats of any age.

We provide a detailed DNA report showing the cat�s genotype for PKD. The 3 possible genotypes include:
N/N (2 copies of the normal allele)
N/P Heterozygote (1 normal copy and 1 copy of the PKD mutation)
P/P (2 copies of the PKD mutation).
