Genetic Health Panel Tests
If you’ve ever been around Paint or Quarter Horses, you have probably heard of health panel tests, more specifically, 5-, 6-, or 7-panel tests. A genetic health panel test is an umbrella term for multiple tests targeting several diseases, with the exact number of covered diseases varying between different panels. The respective associations overseeing these breeds may require these panel tests when registering horses for breeding, especially in the case of stallions.
MIM (PSSM2) Genetic Testing – What’s the Deal with it?
In the last two decades, modern molecular biology methods, including DNA sequencing – perhaps one should say mainly DNA sequencing – have turned the world of human diagnostics upside down. There is so much new information about the genetic makeup of humans, causes of features, diseases, and more and news is coming in daily.
