General information
Dilute Coat Colour with Neurological Defects is a severe neurological disorder found in the Miniature Dachshund, resulting in paler fur, weakness and a lack of coordination. It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene MYO5A.
Clinical features
Affected puppies are born with a visibly dilute coat colour. Within the first weeks of age, they will present with neurological symptoms: an inability to keep the head upright or to lie down normally (instead falling over onto one side), and decreased response to environmental stimuli. The severity of the symptoms will likely require euthanasia.
