Fanconi Re-Test results
-
And I will see if I get the kit for C-Me that didn't have enough "DNA" for the retest. I also ordered a new kit for Trip that had not been tested yet
-
I am wondering about the retest kit also. It doesn't say it has shipped just "new kit" instead of the result. Hoping it arrives quickly, it was hard enough to wait until November 1st to order the test.
-
I emailed Carol Skinner back, as suggested, asking about the status of Blaze's retest. Carol sent back a copy of the retest…it's the same as before: Carrier.
In the first email that Carol Skinner sent me saying that they had received my order, she included a link that was supposed to go to the Order Status; however, it just went to the main OFA website. Even now, when I search on Blaze's registered name, all that's showing up is the results of the original test done in May. Even though I now know the results, I'm going to keep checking back to make sure the re-test results show up.

Keep in mind that I think that OFA site is only updated twice a month??? Not sure about that, but I know that it is not daily for sure.

I should order two kits and get my guys tested. They were both cleared by parentage, but just to be sure I will order my kits and get Tucker done especially before we decide to breed with him. I can just go to the OFA page and order them online there?

There is NO clear by parents especially if the linkage test was used. So, yes you should retest especially if you are thinking about breeding. ALL BREEDING stock needs to be retested with the Direct DNA Test.
And yes you go to OFA page, then to DNA Tests, then to Fanconi and you would order the Fanconi test @ 65.00
-
Thank you for the info, I will get them tested asap.

@JoT:
Fran, who have you been communicating with at OFA?
I have been talking to Deb Nichols about the testing kits. If you need her contact details, let me know.
Thanks so much Jo! I'll give them a call today or tomorrow. Kind of a crazy busy day today.
-
I emailed OFA today because for C-Me (like Lisa's L'OX) the site just says New Kit, not that it was sent or the date. I got a response back almost immediately with the date the kit was sent.
-
When was the kit sent? I think L'Ox would have had his sent around the same time so I just want to know when I should expect to see it.

Email said they sent it on the 8th, was not received yet in today's mail. And yes, I would think yours and mine should have gone out at the same time
-
Received today both C-Me's retest kit and Trip's new test kit
-
Hmm I ordered my retest the day I got the email (Oct 30) and the same day got a confirmation email back saying I can check the status on the OFA site. 18 days later it still says, "Retest scheduled," but just now I'm seeing people on this thread saying they got their results weeks ago? Something's not right. I'm going to email/call them.
-
C-Me's re-test came back today(C-Me's was the one that they had to send a new kit as there was not enough DNA from the first test), as did Franie's brother, Trip. Results were as expected, but good to have confirmation. C-Me was pClear on the linkage test. Trip had not been tested till now, but was from a pClear to pClear.

Super news! Even if you had a pretty good idea from the tests before, it must be relieving to have concrete results.

While we expected Clear from the breedings since all were pClears to pClears, it is nice to have the Direct test… and anyone breeding needs to have the linkage test retested. I would have been OK with Carriers, because bred in a responsible way there is no reason to toss from a breeding program... same goes for Affected males, they can still be used, bred to Direct tested Clears(my personal opinion I would never use a tested affected bitch). But had any of them come back as Carriers, still means they would not get Fanconi, so I would have been happy!
-
My two girls direct tests had the same results as the first test. I'm happy to have them all confirmed now.
-
Anyone else here order their retest on October 30 and not get any update on the status besides "Retest scheduled"?
I left a voicemail and emailed OFA 2 weeks ago and Debbie said it would take 2-3 weeks from date of order or depends on how many orders are ahead of mine. It's been more like a month and a week. :confused: -
I ordered two sets of tests in Nov and each took ten days total.
