    In the United States, NCL can be tested through OFA. They send you a cheek swab kit. You send it back to them via mail.

    Ichthyosis is via University of Pennsylvania.
    You draw a small amount of blood at your vet and mail the sample out to them. UPDATE: you can now submit a cheek swab sample for ICH as well!

    Cost of each is about $60 and can be done at any age even as a small puppy since the actual DNA is tested.

    Although Ichthyosis can only be tested at U Penn in the United States. NCL is widely available for testing in Europe as well.
