Histiocytic Sarcoma pre-tests
- Details
- Last Updated: 20 February 2015
There are two providers of genetic tests for Histiocytic Sarcoma, the French company Antagene and the German club SSV.
Both tests are "pre tests". That is, they do not give you a diagnosis, but an estimate of your dog's risk of developing HS.
For details about these tests see the "Heath links" page.
