General information
Sensory neuropathy is a severe neurological disease caused by recessive mutation in the FAM134B gene. The disease causes the degeneration of sensory and nerve cells.
Clinical features
The first clinical signs of SN present between 2 and 7 months of age. The first visible signs are progressive proprioceptive ataxia with intermittent "knuckling" of the paws, hyperextension of the limbs, and self-mutilation wounds on and around the paws. Generally, the hind limbs are more severely affected than the front limbs. Later stages can also involve loss of sensation, and urinary incontinence.
Additional information
Other/mixed breeds with border collie ancestors can also be affected.
