Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common heart disease in cats, often leading to severe complications. Early detection of genetic predispositions is crucial for managing affected cats and making informed breeding decisions. Tashikin's Feline HCM Genetic Mutation Test Kit offers a highly sensitive and specific real-time PCR solution to identify key genetic markers associated with the disease, empowering veterinarians with actionable insights for proactive patient care and responsible breeding practices.
Your Path to a Confident Diagnosis:
Screen At-Risk Breeds
Proactively test breeds known for HCM susceptibility to identify carriers or affected individuals before clinical signs appear.
Confirm Suspected Cases
Utilize genetic testing to confirm HCM diagnosis in cats with suggestive clinical signs or echocardiographic findings.
Guide Breeding Decisions
Identify carriers to prevent the propagation of HCM-associated genetic mutations within breeding lines, promoting healthier feline populations.
