Genetic tests by LABOGEN: Quality and expertise

the genetics department of Laboklin, offers a comprehensive portfolio of veterinary tests throughout Europe. We place the highest value on quality (DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 accredited), support and service. Vets, breeders and pet owners benefit from our expertise in genetic analyses for dogs, cats and horses. Our tests enable the identification of hereditary diseases, carrier animals, coat colour characteristics, hair length and clear parentage verification through DNA profiles.

Hereditary diseases:

Hereditary diseases are diseases or conditions caused by one (monogenic) or more (polygenic) gene mutations that lead to specific disease tendencies.

DNA profiles

A DNA profile is an unalterable, unique genetic fingerprint of your animal that remains for life and enables, among other things, reliable identification.

Coat colour characteristics and coat length:

A animal's coat colour is created by the interaction of different genes that control the production and distribution of the main pigments eumelanin (black) and pheomelanin (red/yellow).
