Early Onset Adult Deafness (EOAD)

Hello Paolo, that's a good one. Some male breeding dogs evaluated by RI.GE.P. are classified as "not evaluated" for Early Onset Adult Deafness (EOAD) because the test for this condition is included in a new version of the R.I.GE.P. test, but not in the older versions used for previous evaluations. The EOAD test was added as part of an update to the testing protocol, so dogs tested prior to this update do not have this specific evaluation included in their results. Therefore, only dogs tested with the current version of the R.I.GE.P. test will have EOAD assessed.
