The test is very reliable. The confidence value is not published yet, but will be soon.


We had a great talk afterwards, as I explored with him the relatively recent availability of genetic testing for HD, and if the science might move forward more quickly now to find it for our other breeds so affected.


Once again my thanks for your help and your expertise!
I understand his reluctance to discuss the gene involved--I'm sure that will be revealed after it is published or patented. I'm glad that the event went well .
