Genetic Diversity
Marshall’s DNA shows average diversity.
Marshall’s genome analysis shows an average level of genetic diversity when compared with other Maine Coon Polydactyls.
Generally speaking, cats with a higher percentage of heterozygosity will have a lower risk of genetic disorders and other complications associated with their breed background.
Please Note
The specific markers used to measure genetic diversity are derived from the domestic cat population, thus this test is not able to measure genetic diversity within wild cat species.
