If no variant is detected, does that rule out the disease in my pet?

Not necessarily. Not detecting the variants analysed reduces the likelihood of those specific inherited forms, but does not rule out the disease:

•         There may be other variants in the same gene, or other genes, that the test does not analyse.

•         Many diseases with the same name also have non-genetic causes.

•         The test does not cover every possible inherited disease.

Continue with routine veterinary check-ups and consult your vet if you notice symptoms, even if the genetic result is reassuring.
