Degenerative Myelopathy
Some Relevance
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, even where there is some evidence of the presence of DM in the breed. 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 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.
Canine Multiple System Degeneration (CMSD)
Inconclusive
Incorrect mutation for this breed. Often confused with other forms of cerebellar ataxia in terriers.
