Test Overview:
Ichthyosis (Golden Retriever Type 2) is a genetic skin disorder that affects Golden Retrievers and is characterized by the development of dry, scaly, and thickened skin.

Category:
Dermatologic - Associated with the skin
Gene:
ABHD5
Variant Detected:
chr23:2274932-2274945 (canFam4): 14 bp deletion (GACTTCAACCAGAA)
Severity:
