General information

Ichthyosis is not one but rather a group of skin disorders characterised by noninflammatory scaling of the skin. Many different metaphors have been used to describe the appearance and texture of the skin in the various types and stages of ichthyosis, for example fish skin.

This variant of the disorder, which occurs in the Great Dane, is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene SLC27A4.

Clinical features

Clinical signs of affected dogs are a generalized severe hyperkeratosis in all cases with a formation of a strongly wrinkled, thickened and scaling skin especially in the region of the eyes and nose.

Additional information

This test detects only one mutation. Therefore a dog can still develop ichthyosis as a result of (unknown) other mutations.
