DNA Testing for Degenerative Mylopathy (DM) in GSDs

Understanding the Limitations of DNA Testing in Detecting Canine Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) – Abhai Kaul. Introduction   Canine Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) is a neurodegenerative disease with implications for many dog breeds. While DNA tests targeting the SOD1 mutation identify genetic predisposition, studies show these tests fall short as standalone diagnostic tools. The following article delves
