Optigen is now acting as an agent for the French company Antagene. They are accepting and processing DNA samples for the cerebellar ataxia test in Am Staffs and sending them to the Antagene lab in France for testing. At this time, it is unknown if the test will be conducted here in the US in the future. The arrangement Antagene has with Optigen mandates that all US samples go through Optigen. Antagene will no longer acccept US samples sent directly to France. To receive a 20% discount on the test, DNA cheek swabs can be obtained by bringing your AmStaff to any all breed Optigen DNA collection clinic. For an additional 5% discount, you may apply for the test on line. Visit the Optigen website www.optigen.com for a list of upcoming clinics and applications.
