HCM of other genesis especially caused by the other known or unknown mutations can not be excluded by this test. The test is only valid for the submitted sample. The G-> A mutation has been found in Norwegian forest cats, British Shorthair, Persians and Ragdolls. Studies regarding correlation of mutation and HCM development in these breeds are currently not available.
