American Bulldog — Nemaline myopathy, NEB-related (hereditary; OMIA-verified breed predisposition)

Claims
Breed: American Bulldog (Dog)Disorder:Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessiveClin feat: Evans et al. (2016): Affected dogs could independently ambulate, had generalized atrophy, and the myopathy was relatively non-progressive (Supplemental video). Atrophy of the cervical and dorsal thoracic limb muscles was noted with bilateral hypertrophy of the triceps muscles. Serum creatine kinase (CK) activities were mildly elevated. Electromyography (EMG) revealed spontaneous electrical activity, consisting mainly of fibrillation potentials, within the proximal appendicular muscles of the thoracic limbs and the cervical paraspinal musculature. Motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) testing showed a mild decrease in the latency of the tibial and ulnar nerves. Respiratory difficulties were not present.Defect: yes
Associated gene(s)
Derived from OMIA database dump (omia.xml, local); structured field, not verbatim prose. First-hand values below are verbatim substrings of the topic's pdf-raw/omia/<phene_id>.txt source file.
- Gene: Entrez Gene ID 388244698 (no symbol in OMIA GeneSynonym) — OMIA Phene_Gene
- OMIA molecular-genetics note: Evans et al. (2016) reported a likely causal variant, namely "a nonsense mutation in NEB (g.52734272 C>A, S8042X) . . . The pathogenic variant was absent from 120 dogs of 24 other breeds and 100 unrelated ABDs, suggesting that it occurred recently and may be private to the family".
