Inheritance

This condition has more than one known form, and different breeds inherit it in different ways. The sources list the form found in each breed.

  • Autosomal dominant, incomplete penetrance

    Doberman Pinscher, Kromfohrländer

    One copy can be enough, but not every dog with the variant develops the condition, and severity can vary. A DNA result shows risk, not certainty.

    As stated by OMIA

  • Autosomal recessive, incomplete penetrance

    Australian Labradoodle, Bernese Mountain Dog, Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Coton de Tulear, Doberman Pinscher, Drentsche Patrijshond, Dutch Partridge Dog, German Pinscher, Goldendoodle, Irish Red and White Setter, Irish Setter, Kerry Blue Terrier, Labradoodle, Manchester Terrier, Miniature Poodle, Papillon, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Poodle, Stabyhoun, Standard Poodle, Toy Poodle, West Highland White Terrier

    This is inherited like a recessive trait, so two copies are needed. But not every dog with two copies develops the condition. Age, other genes and environment also play a part. A DNA result shows risk, not certainty.
