Type implies if the cat samples were ‘biased’ because of collection as part of the disease study versus ‘unbiased’ because the laboratory conducted a population screen of samples submitted for other genetic tests (typically coat color). Biased‐affected cats include the cats from all three publications (Malik et al. 1993; Shelton et al. 2007; Martin et al. 2008). Four of five sampled cats from Malik et al. (1993) were successfully genotyped from formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded muscle specimens.
