(2010) initially proposed a dominant mode of inheritance with incomplete penetrance in Shetland Sheepdogs, based on the incomplete association between a proposed likely causal variant and disease phenotype. The authors acknowledged that further research is required. In a follow up study by Cullen et al. (2014) a multifactorial mode of inheritance as well as non-inherited etiology are discussed.`\n- `Clin feat: GBM is an extrahepatic disease characterised by abnormal, intraluminal accumulation of mucus or thickened bile within the gallbladder. GBM commonly predisposes the animal to secondary gallbladder rupture, systemic infection, and extrahepatic biliary duct obstruction. Therefore, serum biochemistry often shows increased liver enzymes (AST, ALT) indicative of liver damage, hyperbilirubinemia, and leucocytosis in haematology. Common non-specific clinical signs include vomiting, lethargy, abdominal pain, anorexia, icterus, tachypnoea, polyuria-polydipsia, pyrexia, diarrhoea, and abdominal distention (Smalle, Cahalane Köster, 2015). Chronic GBM progressing to ruptured gallbladders often present with more severe clinical signs of marked abdominal pain, jaundice, and pyrexia (Jaffey et al., 2019).

On the thickened inner mucosal surface of the gallbladder, GBM often presents as diffused, abundant, variably sized cystic structures filled with copious amounts of tenacious viscoelastic mucin. Histopathologically, hyperplastic tall columnar epithelial cells with abundant apical cytoplasmic mucus interspersed with scants amounts of bile within the gallbladder wall and bile duct are common (Mealey et al., 2010).
