Found a rather interesting article. Here I'll quote some of it:
The result shows that the gene test does not bring anything. The study resulted in that Maine Coons with HCM are just as frequently positively tested in the gene test, as Maine Coons without HCM.
Therefore the investment is not worthwhile itself into a gene test simply.
With the examined patient number no association was found between the HCM and the examined Polymorphismen. That means this HCM Gentest is nonsense.
What do you think?? Read the rest: http://www.hamshillcats.co.uk/about-hcm-testing
