laboklin.deThe Disease
Neonatal encephalopathy with seizures is an autosomal recessive developmental brain disease. Affected puppies exhibit extreme weakness, those that survive the first week of life generally develop progressively worse ataxia and a whole-body tremor. This is often accompanied by severe generalized clonic-tonic seizures. None have survived to 7 weeks of age. ´The mutation that is suggested to be responsible for NEWS in standard poodles can be detected via DNA-testing.
The test is performed out of EDTA whole blood (0.5 ml) or cotton cheek swabs.
The cotton swabs are available upon request and free of charge.
