HCM In the Sphynx
Sphynx breeders of the world are aware of the risk of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) in the sphynx breed and should be annually testing breeding cats and breeding appropriately in order to prevent the disease from further reaching alarming proportions.
Because HCM is in pedigrees of virtually all sphynx, breeders should continue to breed cautiously while genetic research is being conducted on our breed. What is breeding cautiously? Well, here are some breeding guidelines published by Pawpeds.org for the breeding of MainCoons. I feel that these guidelines are AT A BARE MINIMUM, something to consider if one is to be cautious in breeding sphynx.
Normal Heart:
Cats with a normal heart status according to a test and without any close relatives* diagnosed with HCM can of course be used in breeding from a HCM point of view.
Diagnosed with HCM:
Cats diagnosed with HCM of any degree should not be used in breeding.
Equivocal:
If the cat was younger than 2 years of age when the test was done it is not recommended to use this cat for breeding. Instead another test should be done when the cats is older than 2 years.
*Close Relatives*
*Close relative has been diagnosed with HCM, the heart is normal on the cat itself when the cat is younger than 2 years:
These cats are not recommended to be used in a breeding programme until it has been approved for breeding after another test at the age of 2.
*Close relative has been diagnosed with HCM, the heart is normal on the cat itself at the age of 2-3 years:
If the cat still has shown no sign of HCM at the age of 3 the cat can be used in a breeding programme. It should however preferably be mated to a cat which is a risk free partner (not equivocal or cat with a close relative* diagnosed with HCM).
