Below, for each tested locus, you will find the possible allele combinations that may be reported within this analysis, together with a brief explanation of their genetic meaning. The interpretation of possible interactions between different loci is included in the report, but is not shown here in full because that would lead to too many combinations on this page. The final expression may also depend on other genes and their interaction.
Polydactyly Hw / Hemingway (LMBR1/ZRS)
Genotype / allele combination: Variant not detected
The tested Pd^Hw variant was not detected. This cat will not pass this specific variant on; other polydactyly variants remain possible.
Genotype / allele combination: Variant present, one copy
This cat carries one copy of Pd^Hw. One copy can cause polydactyly and can pass extra-toe predisposition to offspring; expression and toe number can vary.
Genotype / allele combination: Variant present, two copies
This cat has two copies of Pd^Hw. The variant is present in double dose and can cause polydactyly; two copies do not reliably predict more extra toes than one copy.
Polydactyly UK1 (LMBR1/ZRS)
Genotype / allele combination: Variant not detected
The tested Pd^UK1 variant was not detected. This cat will not pass this specific variant on; other polydactyly variants remain possible.
Genotype / allele combination: Variant present, one copy
This cat carries one copy of Pd^UK1. One copy can cause polydactyly and can pass extra-toe predisposition to offspring; expression and toe number can vary.
Genotype / allele combination: Variant present, two copies
This cat has two copies of Pd^UK1. The variant is present in double dose and can cause polydactyly; two copies do not reliably predict more extra toes than one copy.
Polydactyly UK2 (LMBR1/ZRS)
Genotype / allele combination: Variant not detected
The tested Pd^UK2 variant was not detected. This cat will not pass this specific variant on; other polydactyly variants remain possible.
Genotype / allele combination: Variant present, one copy
This cat carries one copy of Pd^UK2. One copy can cause polydactyly and can pass extra-toe predisposition to offspring; expression and toe number can vary.
Genotype / allele combination: Variant present, two copies
This cat has two copies of Pd^UK2. The variant is present in double dose and can cause polydactyly; two copies do not reliably predict more extra toes than one copy.
