General information

Ataxia is characterised by uncoordinated movements and represents a relatively non-specific clinical sign. This entry describes an ataxia form that is caused by a genetic variant in the RAB24 gene.

Clinical features

The clinical phenotype is identical in both breeds with an onset of cerebellar ataxia first noted in juvenile to young adult dogs aged from six months to four years. Dogs develop pronounced hypermetria, a truncal sway and intention tremor, and signs progress to cause severe gait disturbances. Cerebellar atrophy can be identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
