Información específica de la prueba
Hair length is an important feature in many cat breeds. The original, or ancestral, trait in cats is short hair. However, several different recessive mutations in the FGF5 gene can cause cats to have long hair instead.
There are five known FGF5 mutations in cats, labelled M1 through M5. If a cat has any two of these mutated alleles (either the same or different ones), the cat will have long hair. This specific test analyses the M2 allele, which has been identified in the Norwegian Forest Cat.
Características clínicas
Los gatos afectados tienen pelos de pelaje largos en lugar de cortos. La longitud del pelo puede variar de una raza a otra.
