DM Testing Ethics, accuracy of test

Rethinking DM Genetic Testing: Genetics, Ethics, Accuracy, Future of Breeding. – Abhai Kaul

Ethical Consequences of misapplying the the findings from DM Genetic Testing. 1. The biggest concern (18) is ethical, indicating that how we use test results matters as much as the science behind them. 2. Genetic testing (10) and Bayes’ Theorem (10) each have individual issues, but their intersection (8) shows that misinterpreting test data statistically

Understanding DM Test Results Through Bayes’ Theorem: Addendum – Abhai Kaul.

While DNA testing for Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) is a diagnostic tool in partially identifying genetic predisposition, it does not provide a definitive diagnosis. A dog testing “At Risk” (homozygous for the SOD1 mutation) means it carries two copies of the gene associated with DM, but it does not guarantee the dog will ever develop the
