DM cannot be caused only by those genes as there seem to be homocygotic carriers that never get ill. Also in humans there are different kinds of this disease with different ways of heritage but all causing the same symptoms.
The actual test shows the mutated gene allright but was not varified on enough ill dogs so several questions stay unanswered.
We talked Bern to do a research project on our breed and to keep an DNA-databank both for free.
Sonja Bognarova will publish the informations as soon as she recieves the Slovakian translation (!!) in most languages here on wolfdog.org. As always everything took more time as planned.
