Lafora Test Results Analysis: January 2012

Post date: Jan 08, 2012 11:6:3 AM

The Wirehaired Dachshund Club has published a spreadsheet summarising the Mini Wire Dachshund Lafora test results. This is a combined list of results from 2010's Canadian tests and 2011's German tests.

The spreadsheet is colour-coded and identifies:

• • Those dogs tested as "Affected"

  • Dogs tested as "Not Affected" but which could possibly be Carriers based on the status of their parents or offspring

  • Dogs that are at least "Carriers" and maybe "Affected", by deduction from the test results.

  • Dogs whose test results have not yet been provided by Centogene (the German test lab)

The Club has also posted a summary of the current status of the Screening Programme on its Lafora News Update page.
