Health Report

How to interpret Sierra’s genetic health results:

If Sierra inherited any of the variants that we tested, they will be listed at the top of the Health Report section, along with a description of how to interpret this result. We also include all of the variants that we tested Sierra for that we did not detect the risk variant for.

A genetic test is not a diagnosis

This genetic test does not diagnose a disease. Please talk to your vet about your dog’s genetic results, or if you think that your pet may have a health condition or disease.

Health Report

Notable result

Exercise-Induced Collapse, EIC

Sierra the Legacy of GMRB inherited one copy of the variant we tested for Exercise-Induced Collapse, EIC

What does this result mean?

This variant should not impact Sierra’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. Sierra 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 Exercise-Induced Collapse, EIC?

EIC has been linked to a mutation in the DNM1 gene, which codes for the protein dynamin. In the neuron, dynamin trucks neurotransmitter-filled vesicles from the cell body, where they are generated, to the dendrites. It is hypothesized in dogs affected with EIC, the mutation in DNM1 disrupts efficient neurotransmitter release, leading to a cessation in signalling and EIC.

When signs & symptoms develop in affected dogs

Signs develop in juvenile dogs, typically before 3 years of age.

How vets diagnose this condition

Genetic testing, clinical signs, and muscle biopsy can be used to diagnose this disorder.

How this condition is treated

Dogs with this condition are otherwise normal and healthy, though some severely affected dogs have died during an episode. The factors determining the severity of an episode on a given day or in a given dog is unknown.

Actions to take if your dog is affected

Minimizing or eliminating intense exercise is the best way we currently know to prevent complications from this condition.

Health Report

Notable result

Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis, HNPK

Sierra the Legacy of GMRB inherited one copy of the variant we tested for Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis, HNPK

What does this result mean?

Impact on Breeding

What is Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis, HNPK?

This condition causes the skin of the nose to be overly thick and shingle-like, which can be uncomfortable for your dog.

When signs & symptoms develop in affected dogs

This is often first recognized in juvenile dogs.

How vets diagnose this condition

Clinical signs, genetic testing, and biopsy can be used to diagnose this condition.

How this condition is treated

This condition can be managed with softening soaks and gentle exfoliation.

Actions to take if your dog is affected

Treat your dog's nose gently and follow your veterinarian's advice.

Genetic Diversity and Inbreeding

Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI)

Genetic Result:: 13%

Our genetic COI measures the proportion of your dog’s genome (her genes) where the genes on the mother’s side are identical by descent to those on the father’s side. The higher your dog’s coefficient of inbreeding (the percentage), the more inbred your dog is.

Your Dog’s COI

This graph represents where your dog’s inbreeding levels fall on a scale compared to both dogs with a similar breed makeup to her (the blue bars) and all purebred dogs (the grey line).

Genetic Diversity and Inbreeding

More on the Science

Embark scientists, along with our research partners at Cornell University, have shown the impact of inbreeding on longevity and fertility and developed a state-of-the-art, peer-reviewed method for accurately measuring COI and predicting average COI in litters.
