General information
L-2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria (L-2-HGA) is a metabolic disorder that can cause neurological defects such as seizures, dementia, tremors and muscle stiffness. It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene L2HGDH. The variant of the disease analysed in this test occurs in the Yorkshire Terrier. A closely related variant known as ‘Staffy Cramp’ occurs in the Staffordshire Terrier.
Clinical features
Affected puppies present within the first few months of life with symptoms such as tonic-clonic seizures, periods of reduced alertness, and episodes of ataxia (loss of coordination). The disease is progressive.
