The Disease |
|
Canine degenerative myelopathy (also known as chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy) is a progressive disease of the spinal cord in older dogs. The disease has an insidious onset typically between 7 and 14 years of age. It begins with a loss of coordination (ataxia) in the hind limbs. As of July 15, 2008 the mutated gene responsible for DM has been found present in 43 breeds including German Shepherds, Boxers, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and both breeds of Welsh Corgis. The disease is chronic and progressive, and resulting in paralysis.
|
|
|
|
|
Clinical Signs |
|
Degenerative myelopathy initially affects the back legs and causes muscle weakness and loss, and lack of coordination. These cause a staggering effect that may appear to be arthritis. The dog may drag one or both rear paws when it walks. This dragging can cause the nails of one foot to be worn down. The condition may lead to extensive paralysis of the back legs. As the disease progresses, the animal may display symptoms such as incontinence and has considerable difficulties with both balance and walking. If allowed to progress, the animal will show front limb involvement and extensive muscle atrophy. Eventually cranial nerve or respiratory muscle involvement necessitates euthanasia.
Progression of the disease is generally slow but highly variable. The animal could be crippled within a few months, or may survive up to three years

|
Trait of Inheritance |
|
Tow alleles are invloved in Degenerative Myelopathy, A and G, therefore a test result can be A/A, A/G, or G/G.
Mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive with variable penetrance;

The Disease |
LEMP is an autosomal recessive inherited disease of the central nervous system ( CNS ), which is characeterised by progressive gait abnormalities including paw dragging and knuckling. dogs show lacks of coordination and generalised ataxia. As the disease progresses, affected dogs may become increasingly immobile within a few months. Researchers from the university of Bern and the university of Minnesota were able to identify two causative genetic mutations, one of them affects Leonbergers, and a second one which affects Rottweilers and Great Danes. A test is now available at Laboklin.
Please note that the LEMP variant is also referred to as the 'D' by other labs, this is the same, it is just another nomenclature for the LEMP variant, and so:
- Clear: N/N (same)
- Carrier: N/LEMP = N/D
- Affected: LEMP/LEMP = D/D

|
The Disease |
 |
Juvenile Laryngeal Paralysis & Polyneuropathy (JLPP) is a genetic disease that affects the nerves. In affected dogs, JLPP starts with the longest nerves in the body, one of the longest nerves is the one that supplies the muscles of the voice box (larynx) leading to muscle weakness and laryngeal paralysis as the first symptom. The vocal folds vibrate noisily and can obstruct the flow of air into the lungs when the dog is exercised or when it is hot. The dog may also choke on their food or water or regurgitate, and this can cause pneumonia.
The disease then progresses to the next longest nerves which supply the muscles of the back legs resulting in difficulty getting up and wobbly gait, the hind limbs are followed by the front limbs.
Other symptoms include abnormalities in eye development.
Symptoms typically start after weaning age. |
|
|
|
|
Trait of Inheritance |
|
Juvenile Laryngeal Paralysis & Polyneuropathy (JLPP) is inherited as autosomal recessive trait. The test enables breeders to identify their dogs as Clear (N/N), Carriers (N/JLPP), or Affected (JLPP/JLPP), and this helps breeders to avoid having affected puppies while maintaining the diversity of the gene pool.

Description |
|
One of the most obvious gross morphological differences among dogs of different breeds is the length of their hair. For the majority of registered dog breeds, the breed standard allows only one hair length. However, variable hair lengths are allowed by the standard for some breeds, such as collies, Border collies, dachshunds and St. Bernards. In other breeds, such as Pembroke Welsh Corgis, the occasional appearance of long-haired dogs (also called “fluffies” in this breed) has been a problem for breeders. It has recently been demonstrated in some dog breeds (e.g. Welsh Corgi, Collie, Border Collie, German Shepherd Dog, Miniature long-haired and Smooth Dachshund) that a missense mutation is associated with the hair-length differences among these breeds. Long-haired coat length is inherited a an autosomal recessiv trait, therefore dogs that are carriers of the long hair mutation will appear to be normal (short hair) themselves but will likely pass on the long-hair mutation 50% of the time. Long hair is also know as Fluffy is some breeds.
The DNA test allows to distinguish between 3 possible genotypes:
1. L/L Short Hair having 2 copies of the normal short-hair allele 'L'.
2. L/l Short Hair carrying the long hair mutation - carrier having 1 copy of the normal short-hair allele 'L' and 1 copy of the long-hair mutation 'l'.
3. l/l Long Hair having 2 copies of the long-hair mutation 'l'.
Short Hair (L) is dominant over Long Hair (l)
Please note that this test Coat Length I is valid for all dog breeds, however, in the breeds listed below you should test for this mutation (Coat Length I) and for another mutation (Coat Length II) which is also responsible for Coat Length: Afghan Hound, Akita Inu, Alaskan Malamute, ChowChow, Eurasian, Husky, Prager Rattler and Samoyed

|
The Disease |
Myotubular Myopathy is sex-linked inherited muscle disease that occurs in Labrador Retriever and Rottweiler. Symptoms are similar to Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM) / Hereditary Myopathy.
Affected puppies appear normal at birth but they start showing symptoms between 7 and 19 weeks of age. Symptoms include progressive skeletal muscle atrophy, muscle weakness especially in the hind limbs, small stature compared to unaffected littermates, puppies can walk with short choppy strides, collapsing after few strides, difficulty eating due to weakness in mastication muscles, which may lead to dropped jaws, hoarse bark.
The disease progresses rapidly and puppies become unable to stand or raise their heads by 3-4 weeks after the start of the symptoms.
Affected dogs are usually euthanized between 15-26 weeks of age.
Due to the X Linked recessive mode of inheritance, males can either be clear or affected, where as females can be clear, carriers or affected. Females are rarely affected because affected males are usually euthanized at young age. The disease is primarily found in males. Testing enables breeders to identify clear, carrier and affected dogs and help in reducing the occurrence of the disease.
XLMTM is considered rare and we currently have no information about its prevalence in the UK. |

The Disease |
 |
Neuroaxonal Dystrophy in Spanish Water Dogs is an uncharacterized juvenile-onset genetic disorder that affect Spanish Water Dogs. Affected dogs exhibits various neurological deficits including gait abnormalities and behavioral deficits.
Symptoms include slowly progressing neurological signs starting between six and eleven months of age. Owners of affected dogs reported gait abnormalities, behavioral changes (dullness, nervousness, vocalization) and incontinence alone or in combination with uncontrolled defecation. Mild head tilt, generalized mild cerebellar ataxia with hypermetria of the thoracic limbs and absent to depressed patellar reflexed. Additionally, affected dogs displayed varying degrees of compulsory pacing, proprioceptive deficits, decreased menace, visual deficits, positional nystagmus and decreased muscle tone.
- in Lagotto Romagnolo and Spanish Water dog, the disease is caused by a mutation in the TECPR2 gene, and
- in Papillon, the disease is caused by a mutation in the PLA2G6 gene; and
- in Rottweiler, the disease is caused by a mutation in the VPS11 gene, and
- in Miniature American Shepherd the disease is also caused by another different mutation.
