Canine inherited ataxia

L C Cork, J C Troncoso, D L Price

    Annals of Neurology
    |May 1, 1981

    Summary

    A newly identified canine disorder in Gordon setters mimics human inherited ataxias. This progressive cerebellar degeneration, inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, affects gait and coordination in affected dogs.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Neurology
    • Canine Genetics
    • Neurodegenerative Diseases

    Background:

    • A novel canine disorder presents with clinical and pathological similarities to human inherited cerebellar ataxias.
    • Familial cortical cerebellar degeneration has been identified in Gordon setters.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize a previously unrecognized canine disorder affecting the cerebellum.
    • To investigate the inheritance pattern and clinical manifestations of this canine neurodegenerative disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation of affected Gordon setters from 6 to 12 months of age.
    • Neuropathological examination of canine brains, focusing on cerebellar structures.
    • Assessment of gait, coordination, and neurological signs.

    Main Results:

    • The disorder is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
    • Clinical signs include progressive ataxia, dysmetria, and nystagmus, typically appearing between 6 and 12 months of age.
    • Neuropathology reveals cerebellar cortical atrophy, particularly affecting Purkinje and granule cells, resembling human cerebellar cortical atrophies.

    Conclusions:

    • This canine disorder represents a valuable genetic model for studying human inherited cerebellar ataxias.
    • Understanding this condition can provide insights into the pathogenesis of similar neurodegenerative diseases in both species.
    • Autosomal recessive inheritance and specific neuropathological findings are key characteristics of this canine disorder.
