According to this article on the Coates research there were 4 cases and 54
control GSDs. 8 cases and 15 control Boxers.

I would be interested in the source of the early test data that indicates
that not all GSDs with DM possess the mutated SOD1 gene.
Thanks,

While there is another DNA Test, the SOD1 that has been developed by Dr
Joan Coates for DM, that test was created through research on Boxers and
Corgis! Corgi/Boxer DM is NOT the same disease as German Shepherd Dog DM!
Only 4 German Shepherds spines were used in their research, to the hundred
plus Corgi/Boxers!! Early test data on the German Shepherd Dog indicates
that not all German Shepherd Dogs with Degenerative Myelopathy even possess
the mutated SOD1 gene for which the other test is screening!
