Description |
Bobtail gene: Brachyury / Anury (Bobtail Gene / Short Tail / T-Box)
The spine (or backbone) is made up of a series of small bones called vertebrae. The dog's tail is the last segment of the spine and it is made up of as many as 23 small vertebrae. Normal tail length and number of vertebrae varies considerably in dogs, however, the number within a breed will be the same or may vary by one or two.
Tail length depends on the number of the caudal vertebrae, which can vary significantly between individuals. The bones of the normal tail are bigger at the base and and gradually taper toward the tip, giving the impression of a point.
A natural bobtail is a dog's tail which grows unusually short or is missing completely due to a genetic mutation. A short tail with variable lengths is also referred to as Brachyury , and a complete lack of vertebrae is referred to as Anury In a bobtail, some of the vertebrae are missing; the end of the tail looks somewhat blunt.
The mutation that is responsible for the bobtail phenotype has been identified in many breeds (but not all bobtail breeds), the mutation is in the t-box gene, and a DNA test is available at Laboklin.
The trait of inheritance is autosomal dominant which means that when a dog inherits one copy of the mutation (heterozygous N/T) it will have a natural short tail.
Dogs with two copies (homozygous T/T) of the T-Box gene die in womb and reabsorbed resulting in smaller litter size. If puppies are born with two copies of the T-Box, they will have severe anatomical defects including Spina Bifida, which are severe enough to require euthanasia.
The test also helps in identifying if a dog is docked or if it has a natural short tail.
Possible results:
- N/N (Normal Homozygous for the normal allele): The dog has two copies of the normal gene and will have a normal tail.
- N/T:(Heterozygous) The dog carries one copy of the normal gene and one copy of the mutant gene; the dog has a natural short tail. Heterozygous dogs can pass the mutation to their offspring with a probability of 50%.
- T/T (Homozygous for the mutation) (T/T): does not exist and thought to be lethal.
Research found that there is no association between the bobtail mutation and the short tail phenotype in the following breeds:
- Boston Terrier
- English Bulldog
- King Charles Spaniel
- Miniature Schnauzer
- Parson Russell Terrier
- Rottweiler

The Disease |
Canine degenerative myelopathy (also known as chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy) is a progressive disease of the spinal cord in older dogs. The disease has an insidious onset typically between 7 and 14 years of age. It begins with a loss of coordination (ataxia) in the hind limbs. As of July 15, 2008 the mutated gene responsible for DM has been found present in 43 breeds including German Shepherds, Boxers, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and both breeds of Welsh Corgis. The disease is chronic and progressive, and resulting in paralysis.
|
|
|
|
Clinical Signs |
Degenerative myelopathy initially affects the back legs and causes muscle weakness and loss, and lack of coordination. These cause a staggering effect that may appear to be arthritis. The dog may drag one or both rear paws when it walks. This dragging can cause the nails of one foot to be worn down. The condition may lead to extensive paralysis of the back legs. As the disease progresses, the animal may display symptoms such as incontinence and has considerable difficulties with both balance and walking. If allowed to progress, the animal will show front limb involvement and extensive muscle atrophy. Eventually cranial nerve or respiratory muscle involvement necessitates euthanasia.
Progression of the disease is generally slow but highly variable. The animal could be crippled within a few months, or may survive up to three years
|
|
|
|
Trait of Inheritance |
Tow alleles are invloved in Degenerative Myelopathy, A and G, therefore a test result can be A/A, A/G, or G/G.
Mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive with variable penetrance;

The Disease |
|
Neuroaxonal Dystrophy in Spanish Water Dogs is an uncharacterized juvenile-onset genetic disorder that affect Spanish Water Dogs. Affected dogs exhibits various neurological deficits including gait abnormalities and behavioral deficits.
Symptoms include slowly progressing neurological signs starting between six and eleven months of age. Owners of affected dogs reported gait abnormalities, behavioral changes (dullness, nervousness, vocalization) and incontinence alone or in combination with uncontrolled defecation. Mild head tilt, generalized mild cerebellar ataxia with hypermetria of the thoracic limbs and absent to depressed patellar reflexed. Additionally, affected dogs displayed varying degrees of compulsory pacing, proprioceptive deficits, decreased menace, visual deficits, positional nystagmus and decreased muscle tone.
- in Lagotto Romagnolo and Spanish Water dog, the disease is caused by a mutation in the TECPR2 gene, and
- in Papillon, the disease is caused by a mutation in the PLA2G6 gene; and
- in Rottweiler, the disease is caused by a mutation in the VPS11 gene, and
- in Miniature American Shepherd the disease is also caused by another different mutation.

The Disease |
|
Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) as an inherited disease occurs in many dog breeds and also in different forms. The form of progressive rod-cone degeneration (prcd-PRA) is a photoreceptor degeneration in dogs with varying ages of onset. This genetic disorder causes the degeneration of retinal cells in the eye: firstly, rod cells are affected, thus leading to progressive night blindness. Secondly, degeneration of the cone cells results in complete blindness of the dog, even in full light situations during the day.
Age of onset of clinical symptoms is typically in early adolescence or early adulthood. However, the onset of the disease may vary among different dog breeds.
Since diagnosis of retinal diseases in dogs may prove difficult, the genetic test on prcd-PRA helps to diagnose a specific disease and is also a useful tool for breeders to eliminate the mutated gene from the dog population.
Please note that Lapponian Herder can be affected two other forms of PRA, the IFT122-PRA and the Canine Multi-Focal Retinopathy (CMR) which is caused by a mutation in the BEST1-gene.
|
|
|
|
Trait of Inheritance |
The mutation in the PRCD gene which has been suggested to cause prcd-PRA has recently been published by the group of Gustavo D. Aguirre at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, and could be found in several dog breeds.
Prcd-PRA is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. So there are three conditions a dog can be: it can be clear (genotype N/N or homozygous normal) meaning that it does not carry the mutation and will not develop the prcd-form of PRA. Since it also cannot pass the mutation onto its offspring, it can be mated to any other dog.
A dog which has one copy of the PRCD gene with the mutation and one copy without the mutation is called a carrier or heterozygous (genotype N/PRA); while it will not be affected by prcd-PRA, it can pass the mutation onto its offspring and should therefore only be mated to clear dogs.
Dogs that develop this form of PRA have two PRCD gene copies with the mutation (genotype PRA/PRA or homozygous affected); they will always pass the mutated gene onto their offspring and should also be mated only to clear dogs..

The Disease |
Hypothyreosis stands for all different kind of thyroid gland sub-function, independent of the origin. A lot of symptoms relate to Hypothyreosis including general symptoms like lethargy or increase in weight, as well as problems concerning heart, skin and nerves. In Spanish Water Dogs sub-function of the thyroid gland can originate from a genetic source.
Affected dogs have a very short lifespan and normally die as puppies.

The Disease |
|
In addition to prcd PRA, Early-Onset PRA is another form of PRA that has recently been identified in Spanish Water Dog (SWD) and Portuguese Water Dog (PWD). Two new variants have been identified, one found in SWD and another in PWD. These two new forms are characterised by vision problems starting as early as 1.5 years of age. Symptoms continue to progress and by 4.5 years of age, significant sight loss is reported.
In Spanish and Portuguese Waterdogs, the following tests are needed:
