General information

Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (NAD) is a degenerative neural disease that causes nerve damage, loss of motor function and paralysis. This lethal variant of the disease, known as Fetal-Onset Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (FNAD), was first observed in a Schnauzer and Beagle cross. It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene MFN2.

Clinical features

Affected puppies are born with immobilized limb joints and with scoliosis of the spine. They are unable to breathe independently, and are either stillborn or die shortly after birth.
