New Zealand Heading Dog — Lundehund syndrome (hereditary; OMIA-verified breed predisposition)

Source: first-hand OMIA (University of Sydney) breed-specific hereditary-disorder record, saved verbatim to source_file; every claim below is a C1 byte-substring of it.

Claims

  • Breed: New Zealand Heading Dog (Dog)
  • Disorder:
  • Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive
  • Clin feat: Metzger et al. (2016): the Lundehund harbors a breed disposition for a syndrome comprising particular features of protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), intestinal lymphangiectasia, gastrointestinal disturbance, inflammatory bowel disease and malabsorption designated as Lundehund syndrome (LS) . . . . Clinical signs are diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, edema and apathy often accompanied with decreased concentrations of albumin and globulin in blood profile
  • 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: LEPREL1 (Entrez Gene ID 388246610) — OMIA Phene_Gene / GeneSynonym
  • OMIA molecular-genetics note: Metzger et al. (2016): "Filtering analysis for variants with predicted high or moderate effects revealed a missense mutation in LEPREL1 [also known as P3H2] 1.2 Mb proximal to the region of the genome-wide association, which was shown to be significantly associated with LS."
