Claims

  • Breed: French Bulldog (Dog)
  • Disorder:
  • Summary: Shelton et al. (2024) describe 4 French Bulldogs with muscle hypertrophy, swallowing disorders, and gait abnormalities. Two of the dogs had a likely causal variant in the CLCN1 gene (see [OMIA:000698-9615] : Myotonia in Canis lupus familiaris for details). Whole genome sequencing in one dog identified a variant in PDE4C [c15dup; XP_038422764.1:p.A6Rfs*46], which is the major phosphodiesterase expressed in skeletal muscle and may play a role in decreasing muscle atrophy. In one case for which whole genome sequencing was not performed, genotyping for the identified variants was not confirmed.
  • Defect: yes
