About this item:
Canine Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) is a devastating degenerative disease of the spinal cord that can progress rapidly and cause weakness in the hind limbs and eventually paraplegia among genotypically affected dogs.
This test, which uses the SOD1-A marker, can be carried out on all breeds. Initially, this inherited recessive disorder was thought to only affect German Shepherd Dogs; however, degenerative myelopathy has been recently diagnosed in several other dog breeds.
Please note: We do not test for the SOD1-B marker found in Bernese Mountain Dogs.
The DNA test is an accurate, convenient, and affordable tool to help breeders avoid producing DM at risk offspring and significantly reduce the gene frequency in future generations.
The results confirm 1 of the 3 possible genotypes for the tested dog:
CLEAR (those having 2 copies of the normal allele and appear to be normal).
CARRIER (those having 1 copy of the normal allele and 1 copy of the mutation and most appear to be normal).
AT RISK (those having 2 copies of the mutation and will likely show clinical signs).
The DNA Sample Collection Kit Contains - 4 x sterile mouth swabs (all 4 for 1 dog), step-by-step sample collection instructions, registration form and return envelope.

Easy and quick - back up piece of mind for puppies new owners - I knew the result would be clear because of the heritage but good to have the paperwork.

I required feedback to see if my dogs were related, I’ve got an email saying about some illness. I want a refund

The customer service is second to none. My Old English Sheepdog was showing signs of DM. The test was really easy and the results very clear to understand. The company dealt with my questions instantly and sensitively.Amazing service. Elvis was clear too 👏🏻👏🏻

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful
I used affinityDNA and received the results back a lot earlier than they told us. Our results are awful. As they came back that the dog in the photo is 50-60% bulldog and 29-39% pug. Also paid an extra £10 for a hard copy which was a certificate that you had to print off yourself. Just Awful

Messing with people’s lives. I sent for my x German sheperherds DNA from these people.. After I received my results.. for maisie a cross bichon?? I asked for an update but unfortunately my CHAK passed away by this time. So as you could imagine I was desperate for this to now work. I got an update “Dalmatian” he had no white and his mother I know was German shepherd and this was his main colour. I wish I’d gone elsewhere.

Fantastic price
Fast results
It took them a few days to confirm receipt of the samples and I got a little worried because a saw a few bad reviews. I contacted customer service. They got back to me right away with confirmation of receipt and then 3 days later I got my results. All in all, the test was affordable, customer service was responsive, and results were pretty quick. I recommend using them.
SCAM
Never received results of test!!!I paid for this item and sent it in and never received results of test.
