Info Doberman Pinscher DCM 

Doberman Pinschers are one from the most common breeds of dogs toward be affected with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM). When a Dobies Pinscher are diagnosed include DCM, the implication of subsequent abnormalities, such as congestive core fail and sudden death getting concerns.

We have once demonstrated that dilated cardiomyopathy is an inherited disease in the Doberman Pinscher and appear to be inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. We previously identified one genetic mutation (PDK4; NCSU DCM1) for the disease and have now determined a second, NCSU DCM2. Dogs that bear both mutations are at the highest risk of getting sick from the disease, although dogs with a mutation in either gene can develop the disease as well.
