Recently, I cheaped out and INGEN tested a couple of puppies to look for PRA. To my delight, after many weeks and countless excuses about equipment repairs, they came back PRA Clear. . . but, at the same time, I EIC tested them, knowing my bitch is affected. So, I knew, they would all be carriers. Lo and behold, they came back clear! I notified Ingen that this was impossible and that I would like a retest. Weeks went by and they ignored a emails and phone calls. Finally, I emailed again to express my horror at their immorality of posting results that could have an impact on the health of dogs. They went out of business.

It is too bad that Optigen, right now, has a monopoly on a simple genetic test. But, they did do the research and should reap the financial rewards. Wonder when the test will go off patent and I wonder if their results are always reliable.

I would not trust your test results for PRA either. Unfortunately, those results probably aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

Talk about beating a dead horse.
