Musladin-Lueke Syndrome (MLS) is a hereditary disorder affecting Beagle dogs that manifests with extensive fibrosis of the skin and joints...The genetic basis of MLS is a founder mutation in ADAMTSL2, previously shown to interact with latent TGF-? binding protein, which binds fibrillin-1... characterized by short stature, thick, taut skin, and severely restricted joint mobility . . . Affected dogs also have broad skulls with wide-set slanted eyes, creased ears, a hopping, ?tip-toe? gait, and pleasant temperaments. (From Bader et al, 2010)
