      About the testAbout the test

      This DNA Test Bundle combines the PSSM1 and WFFS genetic tests, providing comprehensive screening for two important inherited disorders affecting muscle metabolism and connective tissue integrity. It supports responsible breeding decisions and long-term horse health.

      Tests Included

      • PSSM1 DNA Test: Detects the GYS1 mutation associated with Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy Type 1 (PSSM1).
      • WFFS DNA Test: Detects the PLOD1 mutation associated with Warmblood Fragile Foal Syndrome (WFFS).


      This bundle combines two of the most requested equine genetic tests, providing comprehensive information to support breeding decisions and improve long-term horse health.

      Why test?Why test?

      Testing for both PSSM1 and WFFS helps breeders identify carrier or affected horses, avoid producing affected foals, and make informed breeding decisions. It also allows owners to implement appropriate management strategies for horses carrying the PSSM1 mutation.

      Additional informationAdditional information
      • PSSM1 Genetic Test: Uncover the presence of the specific allele at the GYS1 locus responsible for PSSM1, a condition affecting muscle metabolism in horses. Early detection can guide management and care. Learn more about the PSSM1 test here.
      • WFFS Genetic Test: This test identifies the allele at the PLOD1 locus responsible for Warmblood Fragile Foal Syndrome (WFFS). Knowing your horse's genetic status aids in making informed breeding decisions. Further details on the WFFS test can be found here.
