This is still the big question regarding the new PDK4 DNA test for Dobermans. What I really find hard to understand is that this gene was discovered for the boxer people almost 2 years ago and why were we not given any info as to what they had learned about how this gene ties in to the total cardio picture???
I would have thought this would be one of the first things Dr. Meurs would have shared with us. What have they learned since its discovery?? I know it will still be years before we know all about the role this gene actually plays and how critical it is.
I have tested my dogs for the gene and will continue to watch and see what new discoveries Dr. Meurs makes regarding it. In the mean time we are still on a watch and wait to see what happens. Hopefully they will discover another gene that will give us more definite findings soon.
