Claims
Breed: Domestic Shorthair (Cat)Disorder:Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessiveClin feat: Guevar et al. (2019): A 2‐year‐old male domestic shorthair cat was presented for a progressive history of abnormal posture, behavior, and mentation. Menace response was absent bilaterally, and generalized tremors were identified on neurological examination. A neuroanatomical diagnosis of diffuse brain dysfunction was made. A neurodegenerative disorder was suspected. Magnetic resonance imaging findings further supported the clinical suspicion.Defect: yes
