Health Summary

warn icon

Frog inherited two variants that you should learn more about.

Congenital Macrothrombocytopenia

warn icon

Frog inherited one copy of the variant we tested

What does this result mean?

This variant should not impact Frog’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. Frog is unlikely to develop this condition due to this variant because he only has one copy of the variant.

Impact on Breeding

Your dog carries this variant and will pass it on to ~50% of his 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 Congenital Macrothrombocytopenia?

This is a benign disorder of platelet production that leads to abnormally large, sparse platelets.

Degenerative Myelopathy, DM

warn icon

Frog inherited both copies of the variant we tested

What does this result mean?

We do not know whether this increases the risk that Frog will develop Degenerative Myelopathy, DM.

Scientific Basis

Research studies for this variant have been based on dogs of other breeds. Not enough dogs with Frog's breed have been studied to know whether or not this variant will increase Frog's risk of developing this disease.

Impact on Breeding

Research into the clinical impact of this variant is ongoing. We recommend tracking this genetic result and incidence of Degenerative Myelopathy, DM in your breeding program and related dogs.

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.
