TMEM154 (OPP Susceptibility)
Genetic variation in the ovine transmembrane protein 154 gene (TMEM154) is associated with OPPV infection in U.S. sheep. There are currently 2 variations that confer some resistance, Haplotype 1 and Haplotype 4, when X is not present. We refer to any other variation as “X” as the rest have the same susceptibility.

Results are reported rapidly and confidentially and are typically available 3-5 business days from receipt of samples. Sequential testing and large lots, particularly during the Spring busy season, may require somewhat longer turnaround times.
Rush service is available for an extra fee of $10 per test per sample. Rush results are available 1-2 business days after receiving the sample. Rush testing is not available for blood cards.
Results will be emailed to the address provided on the testing submission form. Individual certificates are available upon request.
We store extracted DNA samples for 5 years. Therefore, additional testing can be done from that stored DNA. Just give us a call or email us with the information on the sample/ samples for which you would like to run additional tests.
