Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
Polycystic Kidney Disease About the disease Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (AD-PKD) is a problem in Persian cats and related breeds, especially Chinchillas, Exotics and British Shorthairs. The Molecular Diagnostic Unit has been oFFering a genetic test to diagnose autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (AD-PKD) in cats since April 2005 About the test This genetic test is a PCR-based pyrosequencing assay and evaluations oF the test have shown excellent agreement with the results oF ultrasound screening. The test has revolutionised testing For AD-PKD. Until recently specialist ultrasound scanning was been required For diagnosis, but the identiFication oF a speciFic genetic mutation associated with Feline AD-PKD means that PCR can now be used to identiFy AFFected cats. Cats screened using our genetic test and Found to be negative For the PKD mutation can be listed on the ICC PKD negative register. The Following graph shows the percentage oF PKD AFFected cats detected by the Molecular Diagnostic Unit between 2005 and 2018. This clearly shows a decline in the percentage oF cats testing positive For the AD-PKD genetic mutation, which is likely due to AD-PKD screening and selective breeding. Polycystic Kidney Disease Interpretation of results A Normal AD-PKD genetic test result means that the cat does not have the respective genetic mutation. An Affected AD-PKD genetic test result means that the cat has one normal and one mutant copy oF the PKD1 gene. Presence oF the mutant PKD1 gene has been strongly associated with polycystic kidney disease. Each certiFicate we issue will speciFy whether the cat is Normal or AfFected For the PKD1 mutation. -

The American Curl
The American Curl BREED SEMINAR TICA 2019 BY GRACE RUGA Introduction History and origins What influenced us as we wrote the American Curl Standard Defining the American Curl Core Identity Traits Understanding American Curl Ear Types This is what MORNING SICKNESS looks like with Warm Cat Treatment!! Shulamith’s first grandson, Master Luke Litter from first Curl to Curl breeding The American Curl was born! To assist us, in writing the Breed Standard for the American Curl, Jean introduced us to a book, called The Book of The Cat. In the early 1980’s this volume was considered the most accurate text available, presenting a short biography of each recognized breed with detailed drawings, some photos, a section on coat and color genetics, and basic cat care information. We were told in order to develop a breed we needed to choose a recognized breed similar in type and structure to the American Curl to use as our “outcross” breed. At the same time we were to write a Breed Standard for the American Curl describing our structural ideal and the traits that made the American Curl unique from all other breeds. Writing the American Curl Standard Choosing Terminology to reflect the breed identity and essence Here are a few of the pages from The Book of The Cat with visuals and/or vocabulary words we borrowed from a few of the breed’s descriptions in that volume. We highlighted terminology from the following breeds: -Turkish Angora - “Wedged head; body relatively slim. Tail long and bushy. Coat fine, long and silky -Somali – Long-haired Abyssinian. -

THE BIRMAN, RAGDOLL & ASSOCIATED BREEDS CLUB ALL BREEDS CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW (OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS OF ACF and CCCA Affiliated Bodies) SUNDAY 19th June 2016 John Frost Stadium, Cheong Park Cnr Eastfield & Bayswater Roads, Croydon Melways Ref: 50 G8 JUDGING PANEL Ring 1 - All Exhibits HEATHER ROBERTS ‐ TICA USA Dr. Heather Roberts is an American International All Breeds judge in TICA and serves on the TICA Genetics Committee. Although originally from Texas, she has lived in California for the last 15 years. Currently she is the Dean of Sciences and Math at a small college in northern California. She is married to Jeff Roberts, also an All Breeds judge in TICA. The name of their cattery “PuraVida” reflects their love for paradise in Costa Rica. Heather breeds Singapuras and European Burmese and finds the incredible intelligence of the Singapura and the laidback personality of the European Burmese to be a nice balance in her life. Their breeding program focuses on healthy cats with loving temperaments foremost. She has also shown Bengal, Cymric, Siberian, Maine Coon, Somali, Bombay, and companion cats. She has had the extreme pleasure of judging in Australia and New Zealand several times over recent years. She enjoys the countryside, the new friendships, and of course the fabulous quality of the cats. She has imported cats from Australia and New Zealand for use in her own breeding program, and has exported cats back to Australia in an effort to truly internationalize some gene pools. She hopes to someday import a lovely Burmilla for her and Jeff to enjoy and promote in TICA. -

Tyrosinase Mutations Associated with Siamese and Burmese Patterns in the Domestic Cat (Felis Catus)
doi:10.1111/j.1365-2052.2005.01253.x Tyrosinase mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese patterns in the domestic cat (Felis catus) L. A. Lyons, D. L. Imes, H. C. Rah and R. A. Grahn Department of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, USA Summary The Siamese cat has a highly recognized coat colour phenotype that expresses pigment at the extremities of the body, such as the ears, tail and paws. This temperature-sensitive colouration causes a ÔmaskÕ on the face and the phenotype is commonly referred to as ÔpointedÕ. Burmese is an allelic variant that is less temperature-sensitive, producing more pigment throughout the torso than Siamese. Tyrosinase (TYR) mutations have been sus- pected to cause these phenotypes because mutations in TYR are associated with similar phenotypes in other species. Linkage and synteny mapping in the cat has indirectly sup- ported TYR as the causative gene for these feline phenotypes. TYR mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese phenotypes are described herein. Over 200 cats were analysed, representing 12 breeds as well as randomly bred cats. The SNP associated with the Siamese phenotype is an exon 2 G > A transition changing glycine to arginine (G302R). The SNP associated with the Burmese phenotype is an exon 1 G > T transversion changing glycine to tryptophan (G227W). The G302R mutation segregated concordantly within a pedigree of Himalayan (pointed) Persians. All cats that had ÔpointedÕ or the Burmese coat colour phenotype were homozygous for the corresponding mutations, respectively, suggesting that these phenotypes are a result of the identified mutations or unidentified mutations that are in linkage disequilibrium. -
Birmans: What a Unique Breed! PET MEDICAL CENTER
Birmans: What a Unique Breed! Your cat is special! She senses your moods, is curious about your day, and has purred her way into your heart. Chances are that you chose her because you like Birmans (sometimes called “Mitted Cats”) and you expected her to have certain traits that would fit your lifestyle, like: Might "chirrup" or trill her meows to call you when she misses you An affectionate companion and family cat Good with children and other pets Requires minimal grooming Excellent companion However, no cat is perfect! You may have also noticed these characteristics: Needs regular exercise and diet regulation to avoid weight gain Needs the company of other pets or people and does not do well in isolation Exhibits signs of separation anxiety if left alone too much Is it all worth it? Of course! She's full of personality, and you love her for it! She is gentle, friendly and loves to be involved in your daily activities. The origin of the Birman remains a mystery with many unverified tales of their beginnings. Born all white, Birmans do not develop their full color until maturity. They keep their unique white “mittens” on all four paws. Birmans are very social and happy to be involved in your daily activities. They are less apt to climb and jump onto high places, preferring to hang out at ground level or on the couch. Birmans have a playful side and will play fetch or chase when engaged, but prefer to lounge with their family. PET MEDICAL CENTER 501 E.
