Congenital Stationary Night Blindness (CSNB) Test
Department: Baker Institute for Animal Health
Inventor: Gregory Acland
The CSNB test is a DNA-based test that provides, for the first time, a method to unequivocally identify CSNB, in the Briard. This will control the gene frequency in the breed, so as to prevent producing puppies affected with the disease. The CSNB test enables 100% accurate identification of dogs who do not carry disease genes.
