Norwegian Buhund — Progressive cerebellar ataxia (hereditary; OMIA-verified breed predisposition)

Source: first-hand OMIA (University of Sydney) breed-specific hereditary-disorder record, saved verbatim to source_file; every claim below is a C1 byte-substring of it.

Claims

  • Breed: Norwegian Buhund (Dog)
  • Disorder: Progressive cerebellar ataxia
  • Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive
  • `Clin feat: Affected Norwegian Buhunds generally present as puppies with slowly progressing abnormalities in gait and balance. There is generally no irregularity of behaviour or demeanour, however they have a broad-based stance and hypermetria in all limbs, truncal ataxia and persistent head tremors (Mari et al., 2018). A bilaterally reduced menace response may be present, however no other abnormalities are likely on physical exam, CBC or serum biochemistry, and no abnormalities have been noted on MRI imaging or CSF sampling in known cases (Mari et al., 2018). is predicted to cause a tryptophan to arginine sub…
