ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to methods for detecting the presence or absence of a mutation associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in cats, particularly domesticated cats, and more particularly Maine Coon cats. The methods include detecting the presence or absence of a mutation in the feline MYBPC gene, and identifying feline subjects that have or are at risk of developing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
