Animal health diagnosis
First Claim
1. A method of health profiling an animal comprising:
- obtaining genetic data of the animal, and health assessment data of the animal;
combining the genetic data or health assessment data with at least one of;
a. the neurotransmitter data relating to the temperament of the animal;
b. the neurotransmitter data relating to the longevity of the animal;
c. data assessing the bodily fluid and tissue immune stimulation reaction, neoplastic or paraneoplastic change, or cellular inflammatory response of the animal;
d. metabolic marker of the animal for inherited organ dysfunction or dysplasia;
e. a physiologic or genetic marker for autoimmune thyroiditis;
f. data assessing the presence of or susceptibilty to mammary cancer of the animal;
g. data assessing the integrity of immune surveillance mechanisms of the animal;
h. data assessing the risk of inherited bleeding disease or disorder of the animal; and
producing a report from these data, the report including an evaluation of health, disease and disorder probabilities and longevity of the animal.

Abstract
Laboratory test data are analyzed in relation to the health assessment data of an animal together with the genetic data related to that same animal. These data are relevant to the likely morbidity, likely longevity, and/or the potential risk for disease or disorder for the animal, including temperament, immune stimulation and cellular inflammatory response mediators, markers for neoplastic or paraneoplastic change, inherited organ dysfunction or dysplasia, autoimmune thyroiditis, mammary cancer, immune surveillance markers, and inherited bleeding tendency. A panel of tests relates to at least one of endocrine function, immunologic function, gastrointestinal function and nutritional analysis, inborn errors of metabolism, paternity, DNA fingerprinting, hemostasis and coagulation function, vaccinal antibody status, adverse and potential adverse vaccine reaction, infectious diseases, pathology, blood typing and bone marrow analysis, cell cytotoxicity, cytokine and allergy testing, and markers of neoplastic and paraneoplastic change.

5. A method of health profiling an animal to determine characteristics related to the temperament of the animal and comprising the steps of:
-
analyzing biological laboratory test data from a bodily fluid or a tissue of an animal, such test data being related to a neurotransmitter activity of the animal;
analyzing biological test data relating to a health assessment of the animal together with genetic data related to that animal; and
producing a report from these data, the report including an evaluation of the temperament of the animal. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. A method of health profiling an animal to determine characteristics related to the immune stimulation reaction, or presence of neoplastic or paraneoplastic change, or cellular inflammatory response of the animal comprising the steps of:
-
analyzing biological laboratory test data from a bodily fluid or tissue of an animal, such test data being related to at least one of a cytokine, chemokine, or lymphocyte marker of the animal;
analyzing biological test data relating to a health assessment of the animal together with genetic data related to that animal; and
producing a report from these data, the report including an evaluation of the immune stimulation reaction, or presence of neoplastic or paraneoplastic change, or cellular inflammatory response of the animal;
