Additional information
Cat genetic health test: screen for inherited diseases
Adnà’s cat genetic test looks for mutations associated with several known inherited diseases in your cat’s DNA. It shows whether your cat is a carrier or at risk, so you can act early and discuss it with your vet. All it takes is a cheek swab, collected at home.
The diseases analyzed
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a heart muscle disease
- Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKDef), which affects red blood cells
- Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), which can lead to blindness
- GM2 gangliosidosis, a neurological disease
Some of these conditions are more common in certain breeds.
How to read the result
For each mutation, the report shows whether your cat carries it. Carrying a variant does not mean the disease will develop: it indicates a possible predisposition, or a risk of passing it on to kittens.
Who is it for?
- Owners who want to complement their cat’s veterinary care.
- Breeders who want a responsible breeding program.
How much does the test cost?
The cat genetic health test costs $199, including the kit, the lab analysis and the report. There are no hidden fees.
How the test works
- Order online. Your kit arrives within 2 to 3 business days.
- Collect the sample by rubbing the swab provided inside your pet’s cheek for a few seconds. It is painless and safe.
- Send the sample back to the lab, following the kit instructions.
- Get the report by email, as a PDF.
Tip: avoid feeding your pet or letting it drink in the hour before sampling, and keep it from licking another animal.

Questions?
What can a pet DNA test reveal about my dog or cat?
Depending on the test you choose, you can get your dog’s breed identification, certain genetic predispositions to hereditary diseases, as well as physical or behavioural traits. This information helps you better understand your pet and adapt its care with your veterinarian.
Discover our tests: dog breed identification ($249), dog genetic health screening ($275) and cat genetic health screening ($199).
How does a pet DNA test work, step by step?
The test is done at home with a simple swab rubbed inside your pet’s mouth. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for genetic analysis and comparison with reference databases. Discover our DNA tests for dogs and cats.
Can I really trust a pet DNA test?
Yes. The analyses are based on validated genetic markers and breed databases. Accuracy depends on the test chosen and the genetic data available for your pet’s breed.

How do I order my Adnà DNA test kit?
Order your kit online on the Adnà website by choosing the test you are interested in: relationship, health, wellness, ancestry or the DNA 360 Test. The process is simple and guided.
Once your order is placed, you receive an email confirmation, then your kit at home, usually within 2 to 3 business days.
How long before I receive my kit after ordering?
Delivery usually takes 2 to 3 business days after you order, depending on your address.
You can collect your sample as soon as the kit arrives: our instructions page explains each step. For a paternity test, results then take 5 to 7 business days after the lab receives your samples.
You receive your report as a PDF directly at the email address linked to your order. No account or activation code is needed: you can read it, print it or share it with a healthcare professional if you wish.
