For most genetic tests there are three possible results:<\/p>\n
N\/N Clear (Normal)<\/strong> – The animal has two copies of the normal or \u201cwild type\u201d DNA sequence for the gene being tested and is said to be \u201chomozygous normal\u201d. The animal is not at risk of developing the genetic disease being tested for. If the animal is used for reproduction, it will transmit normal DNA sequences to 100% of its descendants.<\/p>\n N\/M Carrier<\/strong> – The animal has one copy of the normal or \u201cwild type\u201d DNA sequence and one copy of the mutated DNA sequence for the gene being tested, and is said to be \u201cheterozygous\u201d. M\/M At risk<\/strong> – The animal has two copies of the mutated DNA sequence for the gene being tested and is said to be \u201chomozygous mutated\u201d. The animal is at risk of developing the genetic disease being tested for. If the animal is used for reproduction, it will transmit the mutated DNA sequences to 100% of its descendants.<\/p>\n For a more a more in-depth discussion on genetic diseases go to: Interpretation of Results For most genetic tests there are three possible results: N\/N Clear (Normal) – The animal has two copies of the normal or \u201cwild type\u201d DNA sequence for the gene being tested and is said to be \u201chomozygous normal\u201d.

\nFor genetic diseases that are recessive<\/u>, the animal will not be at risk of developing the genetic disease being tested for.
\nFor genetic diseases that are dominant<\/u>, with only one copy of the mutated gene, the animal will be at risk of developing the genetic disease being tested for.
\nIf the animal is used for reproduction, it will transmit normal DNA sequences to 50% (on average) of its descendants and it will transmit mutated DNA sequences to 50% (on average) of its descendants.<\/p>\n
