A ‘must-read’ for WSAVA members, says the HDC
The use of genetic testing by clinicians and owners is increasing rapidly. With this, comes growing concern about the potential for the misuse of testing so it is important that veterinarians and owners are aware of both the benefits and limitations. The HDC recommends this white paper by lead author Dr Anita Oberbauer from UC-Davis, USA, as an excellent entry level resource to help educate veterinarians and owners as to the issues and proper practices in genetic testing and genetic test interpretation.
