I am trying to contact the person, I know, who had the same dog tested as clear by one, and a carrier by the other. Barb Hively - PA DNA.

I checked with DDC before testing with them and they said their test is identical to OFA's. hanks, im > Msg: #2 in digest Subject: Re: DM test by DDC From: barbara17236@xxxxxxx Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 09:27:17 -0400 (EDT) It is my understanding that the OFA DM test and the DDC DM Test are looking for different markers and different things. And, that your dog could be DM Clear on one test and a carrier on the other test. So, it is best to pick just one (OFA or DDC) and test all of your dogs through that program. Since OFA will post the results publicly, I am doing all of my dogs through the OFA test. And, I believe most "white" breeders are using the OFA test. Barb Hively - PA DNA.
