Test Overview:

Exercise Induced Metabolic Myopathy affects dogs and is a muscle disorder. It is characterised by muscle weakness, pain, exercise intolerance and sometimes dark urine after exercise due to potential muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis). This disease results from a defect in the very long chain of acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) enzyme and consequently leads to metabolic issues after exercise.

ACADVL

Variant Detected:

Moderate. This disease can cause significant signs of discomfort and/or dysfunction in affected animals. It may involve relatively high treatment/management costs, and can sometimes reduce life expectancy.

Mode of Inheritance:

Autosomal Recessive

Recommended Screening:

Genetic testing of the ACADVL gene will reliably determine if a dog is a genetic carrier of Exercise Induced Metabolic Myopathy.
