Profiling/Parentage
In addition to offering genetic testing service for the detection of targeted equine disease, in this case for SCID in the Arabian horse, VetGen offers two additional valuable services. These services, DNA Profiling and DNA Storage, can be ordered at the time a genetic test is requested, or at any other time, independent of other tests.
