The Disease |
Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder characterised by muscle weakness, exercise intolerance and collapse.
In affected dogs, initial symptoms can be seen around the age of 12-16 weeks. Affected dogs can exercise normally for periods 5-30 minutes, after that they start running with increasingly shorter strides until they eventually collapse. Affected dogs will recover after few minutes of rest but if they exercise again, symptoms will recur. |

Clear
Genotype: N / N [ Homozygous normal ]
The dog is noncarrier of the mutant gene.
It is very unlikely that the dog will develop Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS). The dog will never pass the mutation to its offspring, and therefore it can be bred to any other dog.
Carrier
Genotype: N / CMS [ Heterozygous ]
The dog carries one copy of the mutant gene and one
copy of the normal gene.
It is very unlikely that the dog will develop Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS) but since it carries the mutant gene, it can pass it on to its offspring with the probability of 50%. Carriers should only be bred to clear dogs. Avoid breeding carrier to carrier because 25% of their offspring is expected to be affected (see table above)
Affected
Genotype: CMS / CMS [ Homozygous mutant ]
The dog carries two copies of the mutant gene and
therefore it will pass the mutant gene to its entire offspring.
The dog is likely to develop Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS) and will pass the mutant gene to its entire offspring
