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.
Protein Losing Nephropathy, Enteropathy
No Evidence
Research included only 1 Airedale dog, and number of other breeds. However, there appears to be an association in the research between mutation and disease risk.
