EXPERIMENTAL

IAR is Impaired Acrosomal Reaction - genetic inheritance is still under investigation

This gene impairs fertility - studies so far have only been carried out on males - IAR horses can reproduce but very erratically. .

 

There are two mutaions 

Etalon is testing for this on an experimental basis - if you have a horse with fertility issues contact them and see if you can be involved in their research project.

 

Test Results look like this:

 /-, -/+   One    IAR Subfertility allele detected - NO KNOWN EFFECT
-
/+, -/+  Two    IAR Subfertiliy alleles detected - NO KNOWN EFFECT
+/+, +/- Three IAR Subfertility alleles detected - NO KNOWN EFFECT
+/+, +/+ Four  IAR Subfertility alleles detected - MAY BE AFFECTED
