General information
Myelin is a fat-rich compound that surrounds the axon of certain nerve cells and thus enables faster propagation of action potentials via a saltatory conduction. Insufficient myelin disrupts this process.
Clinical features
Clinical signs were first observed between 12 and 14 days of age. The affected pups were able to ambulate, but showed a "hopping" gait in the hind limbs.
