Tests refer to those listed in Tables 1 and 2. If a laboratory offers only one or two tests, those tests are listed, otherwise the number of tests offered for cats is presented. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) tests are the most popular cat offerings. †PennGen also offers tests for diseases in Table 5 that are not of concern to the cat breeds or cat population in general. PK = pyruvate kinase, GSD = glycogen storage disease
