  • DNA Disease Panel, von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I), Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), Generalized, Osteochondrodysplasia, Miniature Poodle Type, Neonatal Encephalopathy with Seizures (NEwS), GM2 Gangliosidosis, Poodle Type, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1B), Bernese Mountain Dog Type, Full Embark Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
