Neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis in older dachshunds.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A lysosomal storage disease with accumulation of periodic acid-Schiff- and Sudan black-positive autofluorescent granules in neurons occurred in one 5 1/2- and one 7-year-old dachshund. Ultrastructurally, the storage material consisted of membranous material arranged in stacks and fingerprint patterns. The disease was defined as ceroid-lipofuscinosis, and resembled a previously reported case in an adult dachshund.

PURPOSE Late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) is an inherited disorder characterized by progressive vision loss. The disease results from mutations in the TPP1 (CLN2) gene. Studies were undertaken to characterize the effects of a TPP1 frameshift mutation on the retina in Dachshunds. METHODS A litter of four puppies consisting of one homozygous affected dog, two heterozygotes, an...
