Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is also prevalent in Persian, Himalayan, and Exotic Cats.

There are 3 possible genotypes for PKD: 1) N/N (2 copies of the normal allele) 2) N/P Heterozygote (1 normal copy and 1 copy of the PKD mutation), or 3) P/P (2 copies of the PKD mutation)

PKD DNA testing is available to identify these genotypes to help cat breeders make more informed decisions about mating patterns.
