23-9-2009: Today we received the testresults from: 

DNA results for the mutation responsible of PCD (respiratory disorders) in Old English Sheepdog  Please find hereby the DNA results for the blood samples collected from  SWEET EXPRESSION’S CIRCUS CIRCUS and SWEET EXPRESSION’S NOTHING TODECLARE, SWEET EXPRESSION'S LIGHTS CAMERA ACTION AND SWEET EXPRESSION'S HOLE IN ONE  at the international Bobtail meeting in Genk last May 2009.

The genomic DNA was extracted from the blood samples and tested for the presence of the mutation responsible of the respiratory disease (called Primary Ciliary

Dyskinesis or PCD) also characterized in a few dogs by a displacement of the heart and liver (situs inversus)

The results obtained on the DNA can be the following:

1- sample healthy : « +/+ »

2- sample carrier : « MUT1/+ »

3- sample affected : « MUT1/MUT1 »

- Dogs with the genotype « +/+ » are healthy and will not transmit the disease to any puppy.

- Dogs with the genotype « MUT1/+ » are healthy but they carry the mutation and will transmit the mutation to half of their offspring. However if they are crossed with a healthy dog, none of the puppies will develop the disease. If they are crossed with another carrier, a quarter of the puppies will be affected!

- Dogs with the genotype « MUT1/MUT1 » are affected and will develop the disease. They will transmit the mutation to all their offspring. If they are crossed with a healthy dog, all puppies will carry the mutation but will not be affected. If they are crossed with a carrier « MUT1/+ », half of the puppies will be affected!
