What are the possible test results and what do they mean?
The report will show either a NEGATIVE or a POSITIVE result. A NEGATIVE result indicates that the affected form of the gene is not present and the dog is very unlikely to develop the disease. A POSITIVE result indicates that the affected form of the gene is present in the tested dog. Dogs that possess this form of the gene are very likely to develop primary hyperparathyroidism as they become older, even if they are healthy at the time the test was performed.
