    Harmonization of Genetic Testing for Dogs (HGTD)


    Did you know...

    harmonization-of-genetic-testing-for-dogs-2-12-2018.png...that HGTD resources can be used for more than just researching genetic test providers and the tests available for your breed? You can also find a wealth of information on inherited diseases in the “Search by Test/Disease” function. Here, you can find links to the original science behind the test development, find out who discovered and created the tests, and view breed-specific recommendations and resources. Information on the disease itself covers, wherever possible, the age of disease onset, what signs you might see in an affected dog, and how the disease is inherited. If you're a researcher, you can also find information on the genes/mutation(s) tested for. 


    New This Month:

    globe.pngWe are pleased to introduce an improved search function for those searching for genetic test providers by country.
