Claims
Breed: Mixed Breed (Dog)Disorder:Mode of inheritance: Probably autosomal recessiveClin feat: Leonardi et al. (2026): Clinical signs included megaesophagus with generalized muscle atrophy in both affected dogs. One dog showed exercise intolerance. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed bilateral and symmetrical diffuse hypoattenuating muscle lesions. Electromyography was characterized by nonspecific abnormal spontaneous activity in electrodiagnostically affected muscles. ... All clinical signs improved after 3 days of creatine (800-1500 mg/kg/day) andbrL-carnitine (80-150 mg/kg) supplementation and remained stable at the time of writing 4 months after diagnosis.Defect: yesPathology: Leonardi et al. (2026): Type2 fiber atrophy and excessive intramyofiber lipid droplets in type1muscle fibers were the predominant findings in histopathology.
