Test that shows if your horse carries Grey, which makes a horse of any colour turn white as it gets older. Finds out whether your horse carries Grey, the STX17 variant that makes a horse born with an ordinary coat turn white with age.The report gives the genotype directly as N/N, G/N or G/G, from hair roots or EDTA blood, at any age, so a grey foal can be identified years before its first white hair.Grey horses get skin melanomas far more often than other horses, and two copies of Grey are linked to more severe melanoma than one.Results are issued as a DNA certificate within 5 to 10 working days of the sample reaching the laboratory.
