Category:
Haemolymphatic - Associated with the blood and lymph
Gene:
RAS guanyl releasing protein 1 (RASGRP1) on Chromosome 30
Variant Detected:
Eskimo Spitz: Nucleotide Insertion, c.452insA, p.Ser266Stop Basset Hound: Nucleotide Deletion, c.509-511delTCT, p.del170Phe
Severity:
Moderate. This disease can cause significant signs of discomfort and/or dysfunction in affected animals. It may involve relatively high treatment/management costs, and can sometimes reduce life expectancy.
