L-2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria (L-2-HGA)
Strong Relevance
Two separate publications identify identical mutation in a total of three affected Yorkshire Terriers. Organic acid analysis demonstrated accumulation of 2-HG in urine of affected dogs

Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA-prcd)
Some Relevance
Degenerative Myelopathy
No Evidence
Both clinically rare and of complex inheritance. Test is considered poorly correlated with risk for development of DM, and recommendations are to not use the test for breed-wide breeding strategies. While the SOD 1 variant may be commonly found across many breeds, there are few clinical cases observed and confirmed, and in many cases DM has never been observed in the breeds.
Hair, Long
No Evidence
Hair length testing has the potential relevance to any dog, but test usage is most often applied to those breeds with a heritage of these traits.
