About

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?

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.
