Health Summary
Chanel L&T Yorkie inherited one variant that you should learn more about.
And one variant that you should tell your vet about.
Dilated Cardiomyopathy, DCM1
What does this result mean?
Research indicates that this genetic variant is not likely to increase the risk that Chanel L&T Yorkie will develop this condition.
Scientific Basis
Dogs with Chanel L&T Yorkie’s breeds have been included in research studies or have had follow-up by our experts that indicate that this genetic variant is not likely to increase the risk of Chanel L&T Yorkie developing clinical disease.
Impact on Breeding
This genetic result should not be the primary factor in your breeding decisions.
What is Dilated Cardiomyopathy, DCM1?
DCM is the most common acquired heart disease of adult dogs. The heart has two heavily muscled ventricles that pump blood away from the heart. This disease causes progressive weakening of the ventricles by reducing the muscle mass, which causes the ventricles to dilate. Dilated ventricles do not contract and circulate oxygenated blood well, which eventually leads to heart failure.
ALT Activity
Chanel L&T Yorkie inherited one copy of the variant we tested
Why is this important to your vet?
Chanel L&T Yorkie has one copy of a variant associated with reduced ALT activity as measured on veterinary blood chemistry panels. Please inform your veterinarian that Chanel L&T Yorkie has this genotype, as ALT is often used as an indicator of liver health and Chanel L&T Yorkie is likely to have a lower than average resting ALT activity. As such, an increase in Chanel L&T Yorkie’s ALT activity could be evidence of liver damage, even if it is within normal limits by standard ALT reference ranges.
What is ALT Activity?
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is a clinical tool that can be used by veterinarians to better monitor liver health. This result is not associated with liver disease. ALT is one of several values veterinarians measure on routine blood work to evaluate the liver. It is a naturally occurring enzyme located in liver cells that helps break down protein. When the liver is damaged or inflamed, ALT is released into the bloodstream.

What is a linkage test?
DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome tend to be inherited together. Because of this, we can use genetic variation surrounding a specific variant (i.e. "linked" to it) to infer the presence or absence of a variant that is associated with a health condition or trait.
Linkage tests are not as predictive of your dog’s true genotype as direct assays, which we use on most other genetic conditions we test for.

No Result
For every test, we run multiple assays to ensure the accuracy of the results we deliver. For your dog, one or more of these produced inconclusive or low confident results. Therefore, we are not able to provide you with a result at this time.
Coat Color
No Result
For every test, we run multiple assays to ensure the accuracy of the results we deliver. For your dog, one or more of these produced inconclusive or low confident results. Therefore, we are not able to provide you with a result at this time.
Other Coat Traits
No Result
For every test, we run multiple assays to ensure the accuracy of the results we deliver. For your dog, one or more of these produced inconclusive or low confident results. Therefore, we are not able to provide you with a result at this time.
