A good sized research project is underway to help determine what drugs 
etc are causing problems.
As an example one of my aussies lines is carrying the Mutated gene, 
including him! My other tested negative along with my slew of border 
collies.  My breeder encouraged us all to test our "kids" to be safe she 
was surprised to have the whole lot come back positive!
Now when I take that dog in our vet knows and it is also listed on his 
Microchip info as well as his license info with our pound just as an 
extra precaution - to me it's almost like knowing you have a peneciline 
allergy the more people who know the less likely there is to be a 
problem in future

there is all the info on the tests - if you own a herding breed or 
herding breed cross I would recommend spending the money.  It could 
easily save a life!
