After the topic about Degenerative Myolopathy : http://www.wolfdog.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11683 now I can announce this:

Thanks to Bruno Lanssens and his CsW Justine Stella Atoi de Louba Tar the DM DNA test for the CsW breed is validated!

Stella was affected with DM and the gen deformation was the same as in other breeds.

The van Haeringen lab did test with SOD1, so also in all other labs that make SOD1 can now a CsW be DNA tested for DM!

In the mean time some other CsW's were also tested for DM, but not all owners did want to publish the results.

Only one owner did send a copy of the results, and this was of a male CsW that was affected from a total different line as Stella.

The 3 possible results of a DNA DM test are:
Dutch language:

Vrij
Drager
Lijder

In German language:

N/N (normal)
DM/N (Träger)
DM/DM (Betroffen)

In English language:

Normal
Carrier
Affected

Vrij/ NN /normal, means that the dog has no gene mutation
Drager/ DM/N / carrier , means that the dog is carrier of the mutated gene and can spread this
Lijder/DM/DM / Affected means that the dog has this disease
