Claims
Breed: Golden Retriever (Dog)Disorder: Hereditary spectrin deficiencyMode of inheritance: Autosomal dominantSummary: Slappendel et al. (2005) were the first to describe hereditary spectrin deficiency in dogs: A radioimmunoassay revealed that erythrocyte spectrin concentration was 50-65% of normal in 5 adult Golden Retriever dogs, which had recovered from hemolytic anemia but whose OF [osmotic fragility] had persistently remained increased. OF also was increased and spectrin concentration was decreased (60-73%) in 10 dogs of an apparently healthy family of 19 Golden Retrievers related to a proband. Pedigree analysis revealed autosomal dominant inheritance. ... It is not clear whether spectrin deficiency in Golden Retrievers may result in hemolytic anemia, as in humans.Defect: yes
