Health Summary
Chicha inherited one variant that you should learn more about.
Degenerative Myelopathy, DM
What does this result mean?
This variant should not impact Chicha’s health. This variant is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that a dog needs two copies of the variant to show signs of this condition. Chicha is unlikely to develop this condition due to this variant because she only has one copy of the variant.
Impact on Breeding
Your dog carries this variant and will pass it on to ~50% of her offspring. You can email breeders@embarkvet.com to discuss with a genetic counselor how the genotype results should be applied to a breeding program.
What is Degenerative Myelopathy, DM?
The dog equivalent of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, DM is a progressive degenerative disorder of the spinal cord. Because the nerves that control the hind limbs are the first to degenerate, the most common clinical signs are back muscle wasting and gait abnormalities.
