If you've tested through Embark, and tested through NCSU for DCM2, please share your results.

DCM1 and DCM2  Mutation Testing

North Carolina State University's Veterinary Hospital has identified two genetic mutation in Dobermans with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM). They believe there are two mutations that are associated with Doberman Dilated Cardiomyopathy:  DCM1 (aka PDK4) and DCM2, and explain that "although both PDK4 (DCM1) and DCM2 can each independently lead to the development of the disease, the risk is highest when a dog is unlucky enough to have both mutations."

Embark's DNA testing panel includes both the DCM1 and DCM2 mutations.

Send us your DCM2 Results!

    IF YOU DNA TESTED YOUR DOG THROUGH THE DDP/EMBARK, we need your dog's NCSU DCM1&2 results for research purposes. Note that these results will be shared with other researchers, along with your dog's genomic and health information for research purposes.
