The mutation associated with EIC has been identified in a number of breeds - particularly hunting/working breeds. As the EIC phenotype requires an environmental stimulus in most cases, it should be noted that dogs could be genetically affected for EIC without displaying the condition. It may be valuable to breeders of those breeds where the mutation has been detected to use a genetic test, where breed-specific research is ongoing.
