Ultimate peace of mind comes from testing for over 270+ known genetic health risks in 16 different areas, including:

* SOD1A vs SOD1B

Please note: While we test for the SOD1A variant, we do not test for the SOD1B variant at this time. Degenerative Myelopathy genotype results apply only to SOD1A.

* What is a linkage test?

DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome tend to be inherited together. Because of this, we can use genetic variation surrounding a specific variant (i.e. "linked" to it) to infer the presence or absence of a variant that is linked to a health condition or trait.

Linkage tests are not as predictive of your dog's true genotype as direct assays, that we use on most other genetic conditions we test for.
