The Antagene test for Histiocytic Sarcoma gives results expressed as a genetic index, which is based on the statistical analysis of nine genetic markers identified from the scientific research on the Bernese Mountain Dog. It is a selection tool and does not constitute a predictive test for the development of this cancer. It is a genetic tool to assist breeders in the management of their kennels and decisions on matings, using the Histiocytic Sarcoma Index Mate Selection tool (HSIMS), to enable them to reduce the incidence of Histiocytic Sarcoma in the population of Bernese Mountain Dogs. The test is not an endpoint but a continuation of the research on Histiocytic Sarcoma. The test will be optimized and refined with advanced research. For this, your participation is essential. Dogs participating in this clinic will be marked as "tested" in the Berner-Garde database, but the index score will not be included. NOTE: By participating in this clinic, you acknowledge that DNA extracted from your dog's sample may be used for genetic research. Contact Julie Jackson at [email protected] if you have questions about the HS Risk Test clinic, cell (206) 930-3290
