A chromosomal translocation is a structural genetic change where pieces of chromosomes break off and reattach to different chromosomes. This rearrangement disrupts the normal organization of genetic material, which can affect multiple organ systems, particularly the reproductive system. Because the genetic instructions are scrambled, cells may not function or divide correctly.
Affected dogs typically appear completely healthy and normal, with the condition only becoming noticeable in adulthood when they experience infertility or produce stillborn puppies or offspring with severe birth defects.
This genetic condition cannot be cured or treated. Costs range from 300 to 1500 EUR, which primarily covers diagnostic genetic testing, such as karyotyping, and fertility evaluations.
Estimated range of typical treatment cost. Actual cost depends on severity, clinic and region.
