General
Disease Name
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 8 (NCL8)
Mutation
c.4911T>C
Mutation 2
deletion, gross (>20)
Test Type
Genetic Disease/Disorder
Details
The Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCLs) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by accumulation of autofluorescent cytoplasmic antibodies within cells of the nervous system. Affected dogs typically exhibit a condition of cerebellar dysfunction in which voluntary muscular movements tend to result in loss of control and coordination. Rapid disease progression of seizures, difficulties walking and keeping balance, decreasing vision and cognitive problems. Death at around 2 years of age
