Cerebral dysfunction (CDFS)

LABOKLIN Service ID: 8314

The cerebral dysfunction in Friesian Stabijhoun is an inherited disease of the brain. A genetic mutation causes a structural change of transporter systems for neurotransmitters. Due to this malfunction, several processes in the central nervous-system are impaired. Clinically affected animals exhibit a large variety of neuronal symptoms such as depressed behaviour, walking circles, obsessive sniffing and running backwards.

Method	TaqMan SNP assay, if necessary sequencing
Breed list	Stabijhoun
Heredity	autosomal recessive
Duration	3 - 5 days after arrival of the sample in the lab (in case of sequencing 1 - 2 weeks)
