Polycystic kidney disease (PKD1)
Polycystic kidney disease causes fluid-filled cysts to form in the kidneys from a young age, usually leading to kidney failure later in life. UC Davis's genetics laboratory lists Selkirk Rex among the Persian-derived breeds it recommends testing, reflecting the Persian and British Shorthair ancestry used to develop the breed's body type.
