AffinityDNA Dog Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) DNA Test - Home Sample Collection Kit for 1 Canine - Dog DM Testing
Product description Canine Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) is a devastating degenerative disease of the spinal cord that can progress rapidly and cause weakness in the hind limbs and eventually paraplegia among genotypically affected dogs.This test, which uses the SOD1-A marker, can be carried out on all breeds. Initially, this inherited recessive disorder was thought to only affect German Shepherd Dogs; however, degenerative myelopathy has been recently diagnosed in several other dog breeds.Please note: We do not test for the SOD1-B marker found in Bernese Mountain Dogs.The DNA test is an accurate, convenient, and affordable tool to help breeders avoid producing DM at risk offspring and significantly reduce the gene frequency in future generations.The results confirm 1 of the 3 possible genotypes for the tested dog:CLEAR (those having 2 copies of the normal allele and appear to be normal).CARRIER (those having 1 copy of the normal allele and 1 copy of the mutation and most appear to be normal).AT RISK (those having 2 copies of the mutation and will likely show clinical signs). Ingredients The DNA Sample Collection Kit Contains - 4 x sterile mouth swabs (all 4 for 1 dog), step-by- step sample collection instructions, registration form and return envelope. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Directions Hold the dog’s head firmly against your body with one hand. With the other hand, insert the swab into the dog’s mouth and place it against the inside surface of the cheek. Firmly rub the swab against the inside of the cheek, rotating the swab for about ten seconds. The objective is to collect loose cheek cells, NOT saliva. Please contact us with any questions. Legal Disclaimer The test identifies whether the tested dog has inherited the mutated SOD1 gene responsible for DM and reports one of three possible outcomes – Clear, Carrier or At Risk. It is not an ancestry test, breed test or parentage test. It is for Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) only. Please note: We do not test for the SOD1-B marker found in Bernese Mountain Dogs. See more
